With summer finally getting into full swing, Charles Campion highlights the capital's hot spots for chilling out with some ice cream.
Marine Ices
8 Haverstock Hill, NW3
You'll find very good ice cream and superlative water ices at this old-fashioned Italian restaurant. Before digging in, try the sound pasta and old-fashioned Italian staples. £18pp ex-drinks. (020 7482 9003)
Passione
10 Charlotte Street, W1
The bill can mount up at Gennaro Contaldo's friendly little Italian restaurant but it's worth it. The ice creams can be very impressive - look for Limoncello ice or the wild strawberry. £40pp ex-drinks. (020 7636 2833)
Konstam at the Prince Albert
2 Acton Street, WC1
All their ingredients are from within the M25. The cooking's excellent, the décor modern. And the ice cream? How does "London porter and currant ice cream" sound? £30pp ex-drinks. (020 7833 5040)
