  London's best ice-cream

  Current

  I love this place. The gelato is stand-out excellent, beautifully rich but not too heavy. A place to treasure.

  Love real gelati? This is the place!

  Current

  I have always loved good quality ice-cream. On recent trips to Rome and Sicily, my appreciation for the stuff quadrupled. So when I heard about a new(ish) gelateria in London, I went to go and check it out....
  
  Scoop is run by an Italian and the gelati is gorgeously displayed just like you would see in Italy where it swirls and folds in its tub and you can see whole chunks of ingredients eg cookies/hazlenuts etc
  
  The ice-cream is real. My chocolate icecream actually tasted of chocolate and was creamy and rich.
  
  There are the usual flavours(choc, coffee and vanilla) but some unusual ones too, my friend had a scoop of'fig' which was smooth and light to the palette.
  
  You get two scoops for £2 so its worth trying out more than one flavour.
  
  The only very tiny grumble I have was that when we went on Saturday the music that was playing was really noticeable - in a bad way. There was this rnb/base vibe going down and I just couldn't help thinking that they could have some more traditional Italian music or something playing, which might have created a better atmosphere.
  
  But all in all, if you love icecream you will love Scoop!
