Studio Coffee
“This just opened in Covent Garden and all of us in the SL office are obsessed with cold foam – it looks sensational. Plus, in the evening it turns into a lo-fi vinyl-cocktail vibe.”

Best Pizza
“Brooklyn’s best pizza joint is coming to London for a pop-up; it’s going to be on the ground floor of The Standard right next to King’s Cross station. Ideal for the commuting girlies who want to grab a quick dinner before heading home.”
