It might seem like an absolutely no-brainer to open an Aussie-style cafe in Clapham given how many expats live there, but it's taken until this year for the Daisy Green group to get the memo and take their all day cafe group to the area. Owners (and fellow Aussies) Prue Freeman and Tom Onions have just opened Margot Green in Clapham Old Town and they're hoping for a big hit.
The new restaurant has taken over the old

- Pick & Cheese brings its cheese conveyor belt to Camden
There are many great places for food inside Seven Dials Market, but the one that understandably gets most of the attention is Pick & Cheese. From the same people behind The Cheese Bar, that's the restaurant that's based around a moving conveyor belt of various cheese dishes.
