Where To Find The Best Ice Cream In London

Crème, Soho

Technically, this is a cookie shop, but no one cares when there’s soft serve involved. Crème's cookies have gone viral (and for good reason – they’re thick, gooey and delicious), but the miso salted caramel soft serve is the real secret weapon. Served in a cookie cup or classic cone, it’s rich, salty-sweet and very much worth the hype.

Gelupo, Soho

Slick, stylish and oozing with Italian charm, Gelupo is the kind of place you stumble into for one scoop and leave with an entire tub. The Sicilian pistachio is our top recommendation, and the ricotta and sour cherry flavour also has to be tried to be believed. This is proper gelato, made fresh on site.

Chin Chin, Soho & Camden

If you’ve seen billowing clouds of nitrogen and gooey marshmallow-topped cones on your TikTok, chances are it was at Chin Chin. These dessert scientists serve molecular ice cream made to order with liquid nitrogen – think velvety textures and flavours like burnt butter caramel or coffee and olive oil. Don’t skip the warm brownie sundae or the iconic hot chocolate topped with torched marshmallow fluff.

Bubblewrap, Soho, South Kensington & Westfield

These waffle cones are bubble-shaped, Instagram-friendly and stuffed with gelato, fruit, biscuits and more sugar than you’d give a six-year-old. Bubblewrap brought Hong Kong-style egg waffles to London and created a round-the-block queue situation in the process. The signature cone is warm and chewy, ready to be filled with scoop flavours like matcha, mango or classic vanilla, plus toppings like crushed Oreos, fudge sauce or mochi.
