Incredible boutique style japanese restaurant. The little known special lunch menu cannot be beat in terms of value for money. We always order the salmon special that includes miso soup served in adorable antique china tea cups, yummy salad and about 12 pieces of various salmon sushi.

cannot be missed. get tickets to go into the Kensington Palace, see the Princess Di memorial and see where the majority of the royal family live. The sunken garden is ever changing and the grounds are beautiful. the pond offers an array of birds, and often little boat races. Hyde Park is just beyond with huge open space, cafes, the Lido for swimming in the summer and the Princess Di Park that is a kid heaven with pirate ship, music garden, water park. The Princess Di memorial is also amazing with gushing water for kids to play with on a hot day.
