Artisan gelato in unique, seasonal flavors and deli-inspired treats
"You know where it has to stay cold? No, we’re not suggesting going to the penguin enclosure at London Zoo. We’re talking about a gelateria. A chilled environment is a professional necessity for an ice cream shop. So head straight for Soho and Gelupo’s alphonso mango ice cream (if it’s on) or the dark chocolate sorbet number, and consider yourself very clever. Snag one of the comfy booths so you don’t have to watch your ice cream quickly turn into a puddle on the street." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
"Delicious ice-creams and sorbets are made fresh everyday at this popular gelateria. Owned by chef Jacob Kennedy (who runs the acclaimed restaurant Bocca di Lupo opposite), it has an ever-changing offering of innovative flavours, often inspired by what’s in season. Berry Eton mess, fresh mint stracciatella and apricot and amaretto are currently on the menu. It’s open until 11.30pm so you can satisfy a craving at any time of the day. The shop also sells cakes and Italian groceries such as pasta and oils." - Hyperkit
"Right, so you’ve merrily followed the parade along Piccadilly towards Piccadilly Circus station, but you also appear to have misplaced three friends and your sunglasses. It’s time to refuel. Some of the best gelato in London is conveniently located opposite Archer Street’s Pride celebrations. Grab a strawberry sherbet scoop from Gelupo and stay for performances from Miss Leigh Ding and others." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"This Soho spot is from the team behind Italian restaurant Bocca Di Lupo, and everything from their banging sour cherry and ricotta ice cream, to the squishy, semi-circle booths at the back makes this gelato place stand out. The flavours change regularly but the classic pistachio is always on. Do try something a little different, like the Hong Kong milk tea, as well though. On weekends Gelupo is open until midnight." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"“I like to eat ice cream almost every day. It’s like therapy, except cheaper and my freezer never asks me if these feelings might be related to my parents’ divorce. That’s why I can say with total authority that Gelupo’s ricotta and sour cherry is the best gelato in London. Gloriously creamy but never sickly thanks to the sharp hit of sour cherry, you’re going to want to opt for two scoops to really savour every second of sweet, fruity goodness.” – HLB" - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
