Lisboa Patisserie

Bakery
57 Golborne Rd, London W10 5NR, United Kingdom
Lisboa Patisserie

"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."

Assaggi

Italian restaurant
First Floor, 39 Chepstow Pl, London W2 4TS, United Kingdom
Assaggi

"Assaggi is a little gem of a restaurant. It's not on street level; you have to go up to find it. I loved it from the first moment. The food is amazing. It's never crowded and there's no background music, so you can actually have a great conversation."

Trellick Tower

Multi-unit residential building
5 Golborne Rd, London W10 5NR, UK
Trellick Tower

"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

"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."

The Delaunay

Modern European restaurant
55 Aldwych, London WC2B 4BB, United Kingdom
The Delaunay

"The Delaunay is a French bistro, and everything about it is gorgeous. The light is is really nice; it’s a great place to have conversations; the food is phenomenal. It feels like being in Paris. It's a place that is really close to my heart because I go over and over again."
