Where Shall We Meet?: Wintons Soda Fountain

2nd Floor, Whiteleys Shopping Centre, W2 (071 229 8489)

Above Whiteleys lies this monument to sugar in all its forms: frozen, whipped, carbonated and stirred. Besides coffees, sodas and floats, their real speciality is sundaes: done on a mix-your-own basis for anything up to a fiver. If you want a Dime bar smashed onto chocolate ice-cream and covered in butterscotch sauce they will serve it to you - without batting an eyelid. Wintons, popular with adolescents of the bigger-pocket-money variety, has rather clinical-looking, upmarket burger-bar decor. But tears of joy tend to blur these things. Open 11am-10pm. Handy for Kensington Gardens.

Tomorrow: The Dome, Hampstead
