London’s best millionaire’s shortbread
Whatever you think of the one per cent, they have given their name to something that is undisputably good — millionaire’s shortbread. It’s time to share the wealth and crack into these chocolate caramel squares with a buttery biscuit base.
Paul A Young
Almost too pretty to eat — the 70 per cent dark chocolate top has been decorated with a silver and gold Jackson Pollock-style design — but it’s worth breaking into it for the sea-salted caramel and crumbly rich shortbread.
Info: £3.95, across London, paulayoung.co.uk
The Tea Rooms
As rich as Bill Gates with a hefty dark chocolate topping and plenty of butter. Perfect for refueling after a bracing walk in Clissold Park.

Anderson & Co
Nothing overcomplicated, just a decent amount of base, toothsome caramel and plenty of milk chocolate on top.
