This London ice cream parlour has just been named the best in the UK
It's hot! Again!
And there's nothing better in a heatwave than a big old serving of ice cream (or a cold pint in a beer garden, but that's slightly less child-friendly).
If you're wondering where to score your summer scoop, then you could do worse than visit the London ice cream parlour that has just been named the best in the UK by Times.
Ice Cream Union – which has branches in Sloane Square and Bermondsey – has been branded 'London's best-kept secret' by the paper. 'For 18 years it has been whipping up ice cream and sorbets for some of the city's favourite restaurants, from the Michelin-starred Trinity in Clapham to Fortnum & Mason,' the paper wrote.
Ice Cream Union offers over 50 flavours, and you can try them every day of the week at the Sloane Square branch, or on Saturdays at their Spa Terminus, Bermondsey factory, which is, tantalisingly, only open to the public one day a week. Flavours include banana split, mango sorbet, raspberry ripple, lemon pie, and fittingly for Wimbledon season, Pimm's. Ice Cream Union prides itself on making its own nut pastes, fruit juices, ripple sauces, and honeycomb.
Other London locations tipped in the 41-strong list of the UK's best ice cream spots include Islington's The Dreamery, Brockley's Sundae, Herne Hill's Minus 12 Degrees, Gelateria 3BIS in Borough and Notting Hill, Soft & Swirly in Hackney, and Gelupo in Soho.
