Taste London-made cheese straight from the dairy at Kappacasein Dairy. Tucked away in Bermondsey food hub Spa Terminus, this small-scale operation cultivates cheese on the spot using low-intervention methods – this helps to bring out the best in milk sourced from a Kentish farm. How’s that for freshness?

Indulge in pasta with a difference at The Cheese Wheel in Camden Market. Choose the sauce for your freshly made tagliatelle, and then watch on as it’s rolled around in a whole wheel of Grana Padano cheese – the trouble is, you’ll never settle for anything else again.

If you think you can better the pros, book into a cheese-making course in London. Make halloumi, mozzarella and mascarpone during 4-hour workshops with Cutting the Curd, or opt for a day-long session at Tottenham's Wildes Cheese, which gives you the chance to craft semi-hard and soft cheeses.

Ok, there’s not actually any cheese involved in this one, but we couldn’t resist a shout out for this City skyscraper.
