Set just off Regent Street, Freggo, with its striking purple and silver interior and lively music, makes a great post-shopping treat. It may not offer the largest range of flavours, but what it does have tucked away behind the counter is certainly good.

Along with the usual vanilla and chocolate, you'll find Irish cream, chocolate-speckled banana split, and a must-try malbec and berry sorbet that testifies to the shop's Argentinian roots. Another nod to Argentina comes in the three different dulce de leche ice-creams: one regular, one with extra dulce de leche sauce (best left to the seriously sweet-toothed) and one with bittersweet dark chocolate chips that balance the sweetness perfectly.

The empanadas also warrant attention; their crumbly pastry and chilli-spiked meat make the perfect antidote to an ice-cream-induced sugar rush.
