Home to the largest French community in London, it comes with no surprise that South Kensington is bursting with cafés. Wander the streets around South Kensington, after a visit to the Victoria & Albert Museum or Natural History Museum and you will feel like you are in Paris.
Mingle with the locals and enjoy delicious treats and a good English cuppa at one of Cheval Harrington Court’s favourite spots.

The Knot Churros
This is definitely not your usual café. Expect candyfloss coffees, churros dipped in fairy dust and mermaids swimming in milkshakes. And if you don’t have a sweet tooth, they also save savoury churros including salmon avocado and halloumi pesto.
