Providing London's Luxury Lifestyle Since 2010
The Fat Badger restaurant in London began as an exclusive, invite‑only hideaway before swinging open its doors to the public— and what a transformation it is. From first glance, down the discreet side‑street entrance and up those stairs, you’re transported into a world of candle‑lit Tudor‑style panelling and plush pub charm, yet with all the polish of a private members’ lounge. Launched earlier this year by the team behind The Hero and The Pelican, The […]
Arriving at Kokin restaurant in London, on the seventh floor of The Stratford hotel, feels like stepping into a Zen retreat elevated by urban flair.

Launched on May , 2025, Kokin (meaning “past and present”) was conceived to fuse Shimoyama’s mountain upbringing with his London-honed finesse. He uses a rare combination of cherry and […]

He’s not the type to humble brag with his hand earnestly resting on his chest, telling you ‘how grateful and humbled’ he is in that way that makes you cringe. No, […]

When one utters “Darling… I’m just popping in for a spot of lunch at a luxurious dining restaurant in Belgravia that catered to both Harry and William’s wedding; it has John Major, John Cleese and a long list of actors, writers, and politicians as regulars too. The rub is that you must be a member to even order a starter, and it catered for the Olympics, US presidents and some of the most powerful people […]
