Places to Eat & Drink: Rococo Chocolates, Belgravia

If you're looking for a relaxed, tranquil place where you can escape from the overcrowded atmosphere of London then feel free to praise me as I HAVE FOUND IT. It's name is Rococo Chocolates and it is located on Motcomb Street, Belgravia. It's a perfect place to go either on your own or to meet friends or family and you can choose to sit inside in their cafe which has a cosy feel or if you'd prefer a more private enjoyment of your hot chocolate (or any of the many other hot and cold beverages they serve inc. a mint hot chocolate which was tempting and reason enough for me to return in future) you can opt to walk down a small staircase into a walled garden at the back of the shop. It is a light and airy garden filled with tiles and mirrors which gave it a definite moroccan feeling and as it was sunny when I was there it instantly transported me to somewhere like Morocco in contrast to it's actual location which is central London. The hot chocolate was delicious, but a bit rich and too milky for me so I'd perhaps recommend sharing it with someone if you are a milky drink-aphobe like me! It did also come with a handmade raspberry marshmallow which is a lovely touch, and my mum got a mint and dark chocolate ice lolly which was extremely delicious. 4/5
