Paris Baguette Battersea Power Station

You're wandering through Battersea Power Station's Upper Ground food court when the smell of laminated butter hits you—that's Paris Baguette doing what it does best. This Korean chain has cracked the code on European pastries, turning out croissants with proper shattering crusts and cream buns so pillowy they're almost unfair. It's the kind of place where you pop in for a quick pastry and coffee between exploring the converted power station, not fussy or precious about it, just reliably excellent. The Nine Elms location slots perfectly into the redeveloped riverside setting, casual enough for grab-and-go but good enough that you'll linger.
