When in West London
Amid her busy day, Lisa also stops to show us her favourite London hotspots, from a walk along the canals to lunch at The Park in Bayswater.
First Things First
My favourite Jigsaw boutique sits in the heart of one of Notting Hill's main shopping districts, Westbourne Grove.
Coffee Break
A nice café or takeaway spot is The Foreign Exchange on Leinster Terrace, W2. They have excellent coffee - and there really is a foreign exchange at the back.
Local Tip
I love walking along the canals and peeling off en-route to explore, depending on my location. If west, Portobello Market is a great place for vintage and antiquities. Tow Path Cafe in Haggerston is an idyllic lunch spot or if I want to get among the hustle and bustle, Camden Market is a must.
Out to Lunch
The Park in Bayswater is a New World Grand Café from acclaimed London restaurateur, Jeremy King. Enjoy contemporary Cal-Ital cooking from early morning to late at night.
Afternoon Stroll
Kensington Gardens is a five minute walk from Hyde Park and is full of historical charm; from Kensington Palace to the Italian fountains and the Royal Albert memorial, this picturesque park is my go-to.
Dinner Date
Ida in Queen's Park is a family-run restaurant, perfect for hearty, home-cooked Italian food with everything made fresh every day.
Stay
I love the rooms and quietness of Browns even though it’s bang in the heart of Mayfair.
