People
Permettez moi de vous présenter mon amie Florence Dixon qui n’est autre que l’incarnation parfaite du « Made in England ». Fille du designer Tom Dixon, filleule de Sir Paul Smith, Florence a monté il y a quelques années TART Bakery, LE super café de Portobello. Situé dans les anciens studios d’enregistrement des Rolling Stones, cette adresse ameute quotidiennement le quartier entier. Biologique et 100% British. Personnellement, je lui en parlais cet été, je rêve encore de son INCROYAAABLLLEE Victoria Sponge Cake. Honorée de l’accueillir sur mon blog, elle nous livre ses meilleures adresses Londoniennes. Prenez note, personne de grande confiance.
Allow me to introduce you to my friend Florence Dixon, who is nothing less than the perfect representation of the “Made in England” label. Daughter of the designer Tom Dixon and goddaughter of Sir Paul Smith, Florence created TART Bakery a few years ago which is THE greatest café in Portobello. Located in the Rolling Stones’ old recording studios, this address is constantly the center of a lot of attention and rouses. Organic and 100% British. Personally, and I told her this last summer, I still dream of her INCREDIBLEEEEE Victoria Sponge Cake. Honored of having her be a part of my blog, here are a few of her absolute favorite addresses in London. Pens out and I suggest you pay good attention, for this a person you can trust with what’s best.
1) Season? Autumn, in Hyde Park, everything turns gold. 2) Restaurant? River Café; italian food, english settings. For faster food Morito Exmouth Market. 3) Market? Portobello (only on Friday, Saturday is for tourists)! Broadway market for food. 4) Music/Band? The Smiths/Morrissey. Quintessentially british! 5) Best tea-time? Ottolenghi for the best cake. Climpson & Sons for the best coffee. 6) Museum? Victoria & Albert (classic) & Sir John Soane’s museum (hidden gem). 7) Celebrity? I don’t like celebrity. Go to the cinema instead: the Coronet & the Curzon. 8) Hidden address? Petersham Nurseries. Have tea & cake in a beautiful greenhouse surrounded by flowers. 9) Your café? TART Bakery @ Portobello Dock, 544 Ladbroke Grove, W10!!!
