An ice way to have a break

It’s National Ice Cream Month, so the Great Northern Hotel at London’s King’s Cross has launched an ice cream room-service menu featuring concoctions including violet chocolate chip and salted caramel and almond nut brittle. It’s only for guests though, with high season rates starting from £249 per room. ■ Call 020 3388 0800 or see www.gnhlondon.com
