Where: 130 Regent’s Park Road, NW1 8XL
Book: https://130primrose.org
This newly branded Primrose Hill hotspot is a great choice for a spot of lunch or dinner during the summer months. Not only is this a proven spot for good food, but the story behind its origins is equally as interesting. 130 Primrose offers paid work in hospitality to those who have experienced homelessness, providing a career trajectory for people who thought it was never possible.
The cosy and friendly restaurant has an excellent brunch menu, consisting of several signature breakfasts. The Primrose Florentine is very popular and contains poached eggs, ham, hollandaise, and toasted sourdough. The Truffle Mushroom Toast is also a great choice for those looking for a boujee breakfast. It's served with roasted shredded oyster mushrooms, sweet soy-marinated shiitake mushrooms, cream cheese, and truffle mayo.
If you're going for a bigger lunch or dinner, the Primrose Cheeseburger is a classic crowd-pleaser, gorgeously glazed with caramelised onion jam. The Aubergine & Feta is a lighter vegetarian choice but is equally lovely. Alternatively, if you're looking for more of a sharing meal, a Charcuterie Board for Two with a nice glass of white wine can be the perfect date night.

Village Underground Rooftop Bar
In the heart of Shoreditch, you might have wandered past two graffiti-covered abandoned Tube carriages on top of a building. They were formerly the offices of the events company Village Underground. However, after months of renovation, they have finally been transformed into one of London's most unique bars. The ex-Jubilee line carriages lead you into a renovated Victorian warehouse, which is now an open rooftop perfect for enjoying a drink in the sweltering heat. Alongside signature cocktails, they serve excellent 12-inch pizzas from Bad Boy Pizza Society. Be sure to check it out!
