I love authentic Italian restaurants. This isn't one of them, but it does serve the best pizzas, unlike the other chains. Also good range of low carb pizzas (my friends tell me!).

A rare tea house in the heart of what was London's famous Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. Enjoy any loose tea and home bakery. Play chess here on Tuesday evenings. Don't ask for coffee!
