Food & Drink
It might be small but the area boasts some of the best hot spots to grab a bite to eat and enjoy a hot coffee in the sunshine. Check out these places:
Golbourne Deli
If you're looking for a fresh yet hearty feast, head to Golborne Deli, an alfresco brunch spot known for it's sustainable wines and organic produce.

Cha Cha
Head over the bridge to visit Cha Cha. Offering exquisite Latin cuisine, brunch and cocktails and the most Instagrammable interiors we've ever seen with a unique, retro feel. Think velvet chairs, 70's inspired fringing and brass accents. Then, make your way up to the beautiful roof top terrace for views of West London or take a seat outside and watch the world go by.
Lisboa Pâtisserie
If you're looking for a sweet treat, make sure you check out the long-running Portuguese cafe and bakery, Lisboa Pâtisserie. This small but mighty eatery has been around since the late 1990's and is said to be one of Yotam Ottolenghi's favourite spots in London! Serving up the best Pastel de Nata in London in a humble, friendly setting, it's the perfect way to end your day but be quick if you're heading there on a weekend as popular desserts sell out by 2pm!
