Jack and Beyond

Alongside its brunch menu, this Battersea bakery puts cakes firmly centre stage — fresh cream and floral celebration bakes, wedding cakes and a decent vegan and gluten-free range, with brownies and macarons shipped UK-wide. A Great Taste Award winner with a focus on natural ingredients, it also offers same-day delivery across London for last-minute cake emergencies, provided you order by 4pm. The 4.8-star rating from nearly 800 reviews speaks for itself.
