Get breakfast at: Minkies

Treat yourself with: A full English. With a twist.

This really is the best, tried-and-tested fry-up you can bag yourself on Chamberlayne Road. Labelled by Vogue in 2012 as ‘the coolest deli in North London’, Minkie’s serves treats and eats all of kinds from an unusual-looking cafe called the Glasshouse. Outside the cafe a good range of outdoor seating is available for friends and families alike. The most charming detail is an old Victorian-style market cart, overflowing with brightly coloured oranges that hint at the freshly squeezed juice waiting inside.

Walk off your breakfast in: Kensal Green Cemetery

Tired of spending your Sundays traipsing through the same worn-out galleries? Located on the cusp of Ladbroke Grove and Kensal Green, this cemetery is so much more than your average graveyard. Not only is it London’s oldest burial ground, it’s design was influenced by the Père Lachaise – the most famous cemetery in Paris. Get rural in the city amongst some of the rare flora and fauna that the grounds have to offer, before venturing back on to Chamberlayne Road.
