Oddono's East Dulwich

Serious gelato is the order of the day here: Oddono's Bronte pistachio and Piedmont hazelnut flavours have both won gold at the Great Taste Awards, and The Independent named it the UK's best ice cream parlour back in 2007. Unusually for an ice cream shop, the East Dulwich branch keeps late hours — open until 11pm on weeknights and 11:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays — which makes it a rare option for an after-dinner scoop. With delivery and takeaway available alongside dine-in, and a 4.7 rating from 668 reviews, the neighbourhood clearly approves.
