15 Things To Do In (And Around) Great Titchfield Street

Inspired by Time Out’s popular series, we have put together a list of places that can’t be missed if you’re in and around Great Titchfield Street!

1)     Visit Market Place.

Market Place, London, W1 .

Ask anyone to tell you the best bits about Fitzrovia and we can guarantee you Market Place will be on that list! There is something special about the semi-pedestrianised square which is centres around Reiss’ luxurious store at Kent House. Bring a little sun and warmth and the parade is buzzing with diners at the many restaurants and eateries including Honest Burger, Tortilla and Coppa Club. We have no doubt you’ll also enjoy a tipple or two at Market Place Bar with the rest of the creatives on a lovely (and lazy) summers day, and perhaps stumble into their basement club ‘Store Room’, popular with those who have made it out to the later hours of the evening.

2)     Test Out ‘The World’s Most Incredible Bed’ at H?stens.

H?stens – 66-68 Margaret Street, London, W1.

Popular with Kings & Queens, H?stens has a rich history which expands through six generations dating back to 1852, peaking 100 years later when appointed a Purveyor to the Royal Court of Swede, a hallmark of Swedish Quality and top-class Scandinavian Design. A quick visit to their showroom on the junction of Great Titchfield Street and Margaret Street will leave you feeling like a princess (or prince) without the pea!

5)     Break Fast With Brunch at Riding House Café

Riding House Café – 43-51 Great Titchfield Street, London, W1.

With the BBC delightfully around the corner, it’s no wonder that the Riding House Café is a favourite with many known faces from our tele boxes. The Riding House Café epitomise the modern British café-restaurant with a cool, raw design and a neighbourly take on hospitality. Whilst you can certainly get your Avo, Eggs and Toast, we would recommend trying the “Ham” & Eggs with a cold sparkling glass of bubbles on a lazy Sunday.

6)     Dare To Try Sm?rrebr?d at ScandiKitchen.

ScandiKitchen – 61 Great Titchfield Street, London, W1.

In addition to a popular lunchtime trade, ScandiKitchen stocks over 600 traditional and gourmet foods from across Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland including Marabou Apelsinkrokant – Milk Chocolate with Orange Crisp which is very popular with the LDG Staff and way better than Terrys in our humblest of opinions!

Homeslice Pizza - 52 Well Street, London, W1.

London is very fortunate to have an incredible pizza scene which often leads to a great debate on which pizzeria is the best! Homeslice is certainly up there on the list and stands out for its encouragement of sharing, with 20-inch pizzas for ￡20 which often take up the whole table! Whilst we wouldn’t encourage putting yourself into a food coma, we have witnessed many a customer tackle a whole pizza to themselves with varying success.
