Kensington Palace Cafe

Part patisserie, part confectionery, part sandwich shop, this Kensington all-rounder covers the sweet and savoury bases in a single stop — a breadth that nearly 500 reviewers have rewarded with a steady 4.2 rating. Dine in, take away, or claim one of the outdoor tables when the weather plays along, with step-free entry and wheelchair-accessible seating keeping things easy for everyone. Open seven days a week from 10am, it suits both a quick lunchtime sandwich and a lingering afternoon sugar fix.
