Having flooded our entry about Alexander Wang's new store with Wang puns, it's going to be hard for us to avoid turning this into a redux; shoe designer Patrick Cox has teamed up with celebrity baker Eric Lanlard to hire out a derelict sex shop on Soho's Brewer street, turning it into a neon-lit bakery complete with strip lighting and black gloss floor. Most promising of all about this venture? Cox, Cookies & Cake boasts late-night opening hours, ensuring that you might be shoulder to shoulder with a fair few ladies (and gentlemen) of the night as you queue for your cupcakes and buttercream confections.

The bottom line here is: It won't be the first time that Soho's renowned for being the best place in London to get Cox in your mouth, but - as of September 1st - it's certainly the chicest.

(Oh come on, for Christ's sake - it's opening in a sex shop, and his surname is Cox. Cox! We're only human, you know.)
