While I adore dining out in London and trying new spots, there are also a fair few places which I will try to frequent whenever I can. One such place is Portrait, the restaurant on the top floor in the National Portrait Gallery. High above the crowds and chaos of Trafalgar and Leicester Squares, this sweet little restaurant is an oasis of calm and deliciousness. So when Hannah, a friend of my friend Emily H, asked to meet in the centre of town for a lunch, I knew just the place!

The place is normally busy and buzzing, so best to book. It also has a good view of Nelson's Column. We went for afternoon tea, taking up a special January
