This is absolutely the best place in Soho for a traditional Sunday roast. You may have to books months in advance but it worth the effort. They even have vegetarian options now.

One of the best restaurants in the area Barrafina is a great spot for authentic Spanish food. They don't take bookings so you will need to show up and wait for a table but it worth the effort.

A great Persian restaurant. Like most places in Soho that are worth visiting you may want to book ahead. They do take walk-ins for the countertop tables on the day and you can watch the food being prepared from there.

Gelupo by far has the best ice cream and sorbet in London and, despite having lived in Italy, I have to say I think it probably has better ice cream than I've ever had in Italy, too. It is open Wednesday to Sunday only.

Bar Bruno is a local institution. It is an old school Italian greasy spoon cafe and one of only a handful of businesses that have survived the recent gentrification of Soho. It is exactly what you think it might be. A great place to people watch and attracts a more diverse crowd than most local places.

The favourite local pub of George Orwell, one of the favourite local pubs of Dylan Thomas, and an old haunt of Madonna and Guy Ritchie. It is small, intimate, has a huge selection of ales and is just a few doors away from the apartment.

This is my favourite local pub. It is just around the corner from the apartment. It is small, intimate, it attracts a regular crowd who are very friendly to new faces. They now serve food upstairs too. Don't ask for a pint - they only do halves - so you need to order two halves instead of a pint if you want to look like a local!
