Lisboa Patisserie
Bakery
57 Golborne Rd, London W10 5NR, United Kingdom"I love Lisboa Patisserie. I love the great coffee and the bolo de nata, which is this amazing Portuguese pastry. The staff uniforms are quite literally to die for. Everything about it is amazing. It feels like you're in Lisbon having a coffee, but you're actually in the center of London."

First Floor, 39 Chepstow Pl, London W2 4TS, United KingdomTrellick Tower
Multi-unit residential building
5 Golborne Rd, London W10 5NR, UK"The Trellick Tower on Golborne Road is the most fascinating building in West London. The building is amazing — it's a phenomenal piece of brutalist architecture. If you live in West London, you see the Trellick Tower from wherever you are. It's like the Tour Eiffel of West London, but much uglier in a fascinating way, which in a way makes it prettier. It's just a fascinating place."

Sir John Soane’s Museum
Museum
13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3BP, United Kingdom"Sir John Soane’s Museum is one of my favorite museums in London. It's the home of an art collector, hidden behind the Holborn tube station. I like everything about it. It's a tiny, very cramped museum. It’s decades of history inside this tiny place. There's so much art to look at. It's just magical."
