ShopandBox – we are a community of Shoppers and Boxers from around the world, sharing shopping lust lists, secrets and tips. But it goes far beyond this. If you’re as fascinated as we are with travel and what the locals like to do, you’re in the right place.
Our Boxers are all individuals with a story to tell and this week’s pioneer travel edition starts with the best eats in London. Boxer Joel, a scuba diving enthusiast, uni-going bloke with a passion for meat tells us where you have gotta go whether you’re taking a break from the Tate Museum or the crazy shopping at Oxford Street.

Everyone loves a steak and you can’t go wrong with the mouth-watering steaks that are also pocket friendly in this cozy little place. Hot tip though, go early if you don’t want to queue whilst other diners get their hands on these 10£ steaks.

Hotdogs and champagne! What a fabulous combination and we can’t believe no one has ever thought of this before. Pop by this bar for gourmet hot dogs and drink champagne without any guilt. You won’t break the bank by having a bite and a drink at this lovely watering hole where you can discover bespoke champagnes by smaller champagne houses.

Look no further than Chilango for amazing fresh Mexican fare. No drippy, oily tacos here, just fresh zesty tacos, burritos and more. Tasty, tasty, tasty, this one is Boxer Joel’s absolute favourite when he’s in the Mexican-lovin’ mood.

Handmade American style cupcakes and cakes when you need a pick-me-up. Their rainbow cake is simply too cute to eat but will definitely make the day of any birthday girl from 2 years old to 80 years old!

For the quintessential British afternoon tea but with a cooler modern twist, head to Sketch to have tea amidst an art gallery. Pastries, macaroons, mini caviar and quail egg sandwiches served on a three tier platter. Too pretty to eat but once you start, you might find it hard to keep all prim and proper as these mini bites are simply scrumptious.
