Gelupo

"“I like to eat ice cream almost every day. It’s like therapy, except cheaper and my freezer never asks me if these feelings might be related to my parents’ divorce. That’s why I can say with total authority that Gelupo’s ricotta and sour cherry is the best gelato in London. Gloriously creamy but never sickly thanks to the sharp hit of sour cherry, you’re going to want to opt for two scoops to really savour every second of sweet, fruity goodness.” – HLB" - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"If getting what is probably London’s best gelato straight to your door doesn’t sound like an excellent idea, then we don’t know what is. Gelupo are delivering all over - you just need to reserve a weekend delivery spot - and the minimum order is two half-litre tubs. Which, frankly, will be the least of your problems once you look at that ricotta sour cherry, and the rest of the menu." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak

"Gelupo’s gelato delivery person is the adult equivalent of the tooth fairy. Minus the breaking and entering, and the exchanging of money for teeth. OK, so they don’t have all that much in common. But the point is that their gelato is excellent, and they’re delivering it to all London postcodes. See? magical. Place your order here." - heidi lauth beasley

"This Soho spot is from the team behind Italian restaurant Bocca Di Lupo and everything from their banging sour cherry and ricotta ice cream, to the squishy, semi-circle booths at the back, makes this gelato place stand out. The flavours change regularly but you’re pretty much guaranteed to find something you like, whether it’s a classic like pistachio or something a little different like rice pudding with still-chewy pieces of rice throughout. On weekends this place is open until midnight." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager

"You know where it has to stay cold. No, we’re not suggesting going to the penguin enclosure at London Zoo. We’re talking about a gelateria. A chilled environment is a professional necessity for an ice cream shop. So head straight for Soho and Gelupo’s alphonso mango ice cream or the desiccated coconut number, and consider yourself very clever. Snag one of the comfy booths so you don’t have to watch your ice cream quickly turn into a puddle on the street." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
