For anyone who likes cheese this is a must. La Fromagerie offers the most amazing cheese room - to buy and enjoy on the terrace or have a seat at one of the tables in their wonderful little restaurant/cafe. Probably also among the best fruits and vegetables available in London (but expensive). Wonderful breakfast and brunch - try the avocado toast with feta and poached egg, yum!
