Ready-made Sunday: Ben Bailey Smith's favourite west London spots

I live in Kensal Rise so my Sundays mostly involve loafing around west London. I’d start at Cable Co for a cup of tea and a toastie to take away.

Then I’d head to the corner of Harrow Road and Ladbroke Grove, nip down to the canal and walk towards Paddington. Once I hit Little Venice, I rest my feet at Rembrandt Gardens, a beautiful and underappreciated canalside park.

Shop From there I’d walk up towards Westbourne Grove and Notting Hill, stopping at Retro Man to see if there are any secondhand designer bargains – there usually are.

Then it’s a short walk to The Uxbridge Arms for a pint. It’s cosy, friendly and has a good selection of games for wasting some Sunday hours.

After that I’d go to Clarendon Cross on Portland Road, one of the most stylish little quadrants in the city. I’d wander around and pretend I live there until I got hungry, then satisfy my appetite at Julie’s with some proper posh grub.
