Parnell MUST-DO'S

> Parnell Road - A supremely stylish, village-like suburb, Parnell is one sophisticated dame. The main road is flanked by cafés packed with brunch-goers and upmarket restaurants; shops selling curios and a scattering of upmarket art galleries. Perfect for dallying.

> Chocolate Boutique Café - Deliciously sinful, polish off your hot chocolate pot with a big slice of mud cake.
> La Cigale French Market - Head to this French-fashioned in-and-outdoor market springing up in Parnell every Saturday (from 8am) and Sunday (from 9am) until 1.30pm. Gorge on crepes dripping in nutella and freshly made savouries.
> Parnell Rose Gardens - Smell the roses. They’re in full bloom throughout summer and autumn. Even when they are not in flower, this is an idyllic spot to spread your picnic blanket.
> Ewelme Cottage, Parnell - Something of a time warp, Ewelme Cottage was built for Reverend Vicesimus Lush and his wife in the 1880s. Their possessions sit much as they did centuries ago.
