'HOW TO LONDON' GUIDES & MAPS

«FRESHLY BAKED»

London’s food scene is more exciting than ever, BUT it is also a city where millions of different people go to millions of different places that ARE NOT WORTH IT. London is packed with such coffee chains as Costa Coffee or Ole & Steen - well... if you appreciate a good coffee and a freshly baked pastry you wouldn't want to go there. To help you avoid such common mistakes I created «FRESHLY BAKED». This guide is a gift from me to you, it is a collection of coffee & cake spots in London that hold a special place in my heart.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi, I am Lesya.

The thing is - London still doesn’t have the best reputation around the world for its cuisine, particularly in comparison to other leading cities like New York, Madrid, or Paris. But it’s okay—we know this isn’t true, right?

As a Londoner for over eight years, I've become the go-to person among my friends for advice on ‘where to eat’ and ‘what to do’ in London. I believe London has always something to give and has always something to take (your money or your new suede loafers for sure). However, it's also a city where many find places not worth their time. To help, I've created these guides as a collection of personal, opinionated recommendations - the kind I wish I had when I started out here.
