"Cheese at Leadenhall — founded by Sue Cloke, a Paxton & Whitfield alum who formerly ran the cheese department at Harvey Nichols — self-identifies as a cheesemonger, bar and restaurant. French staples, British regional classics (from Cropwell Bishop Stilton to Lancashire Bombs) and a staggering selection of truffle cheeses can be found amongst the 100 or so British and European varieties stocked by the shop. The restaurant has a concise, seasonal gastropub menu that complements small plates and plats du jour with cheese-based hits — croques monsieur and madame, baked Camemberts and cheese platters. The wine list is solid, and features a notable range of vintage port, perfect on sipping on the terrace overlooking Leadenhall market. If sitting around sipping digestifs isn’t, for some odd reason, the order of the day, Cloke also hosts regular cheese walks around the city." - Daria Kyrilova
