"The Elder Press Cafe is right by the Thames Path, in a part of Stamford Brook where the streets are lined with elegant, white townhouses and air kisses are the greeting of choice. The queue is the de facto meeting spot for locals with Barbour-fied dogs and the odd celebrity in oversized Patagonia. Yoghurt bowls garnished with flowers and dishes like kimchi fried rice are tasty, but the real reason you're here is to romanticise your morning while propped up on linen cushions or sat in the charming courtyard out back." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
