Honest Jon’s Records London

A Portobello Road institution since 1974, Honest Jon's is one of London's most revered independent record shops, stocking an exceptionally curated selection of jazz, soul, funk, reggae, African music and electronic across both vinyl and CD. It has its own record label too, releasing music that reflects the same eclectic, deeply knowledgeable taste that has made the shop a destination for serious music lovers for over fifty years.

Le Choux

A gourmet patisserie on Ladbroke Grove, Le Choux specialises in French choux buns filled with inventive flavour combinations ranging from pistachio and passion fruit to salted caramel and lemon meringue, each one beautifully made and generously filled. The dark chocolate and sea salt cookies are equally revered and regularly cited as among the best in London. A wonderful neighbourhood gem, and well worth seeking out.
