Very trendy brunch spot with a glamorous crowd (queue at weekends so I recommend mid week) healthy food. Rated New York Times best scrambled eggs in the world.

Very good shopping on a quintessentially British Street. Conran shop at the top is good. To go here, take the tube from Latimer Road to Baker Street (very quick) and its a few minutes from there. If you start at the top and finish at the bottom you can end in Selfridges / Oxford Street area.

The tube is quick and easy to use.
Get an 'Oyster' card from any underground station for cheap travel. There are 3 tube stations all under 15 mins walk. Latimer Road is the closest at 10 mins. If you need the central line, use White City underground station.
