Fav places in London

We founded Primrose Bakery in October 2004 having started out baking for children's parties, but quickly noticed how well the cupcakes went down with adults! We also couldn't understand why things you could find in America, France and Australia were much harder to find in England.

Now ten years on we have two shops - one in Primrose Hill and one in Covent Garden, plus four cookbooks and an App. At times we can't believe that something we started at home has grown so much. It gives us a huge sense of satisfaction to see people queuing out into the street on a Saturday afternoon, waiting to buy our cakes - there is no better feeling than this, to see that people really do want to buy and eat what we have made.

We have tried to keep it to simple old fashioned cooking, using good quality, seasonal and well sourced ingredients, as one might use at home when baking for your own children, friends and family.

We hope you enjoy our cakes!

This bakery is the best you must visit at least once

Covent garden & Neil's Yard

Hidden down an alley behind Covent Garden, Neal’s Yard is a unique and colorful shopping area lined with ‘slow food’ and ‘raw-centric’ cafes and unique independent shops. Hot pink, bright purple, and neon green painted storefronts include Slam City Skates for the skateboard enthusiast, the Hair by Fairy beauty salon, and the popular Neal’s Yard Remedies filled with organic beauty products, homeopathic medicines, and its own in-house therapy rooms. Neal’s Yard owes its name to Thomas Neale, who received a piece of land in 1690 from King William III, however, the area did not become a destination until the mid 1970s when entrepreneur Nicholas Saunders put Neal’s Yard on the map when he opened his Whole Food Warehouse in 1976. Saunders gradually bought up other buildings in the alley and helped to finance a co-operative bakery, dairy, flour mill, apothecary and cafe. He planted trees in tubs, filled window boxes with flowers and imported white doves that fluttered overhead. Today, Neal’s Yard has become a popular gathering place filled with office workers, tourists and regulars who gather in its colorful courtyard.





Cowshed Spa Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Carnaby Street is the Cowshed Spa. This chain is part of the Soho House group, and it shows in the interiors — think mood lighting and the world's most comfortable sofas. Stepping through the doors of the salon, one breathes a sigh of relief as the stresses of the fashion calendar fade away. Plus, there is free Wi-Fi, so you can still catch up on emails with relative ease. Cowshed Spa, 31 Fouberts Place, London, W1F 7QG.
