Pearl Mayfair Restaurant London Review: Mediterranean Terrace Dining Above Brown Hart Gardens

Oct 12th 2026

Pearl Mayfair restaurant in London arrives with one of those rare advantages: a location that already feels like a secret. Set in the raised gardens of Brown Hart Gardens, just above Duke Street, it promises Mediterranean cooking, terrace dining and the sort of all-day rhythm Mayfair does particularly well when it is not trying too hard. The restaurant comes from The Beaumont, with Lisa Goodwin-Allen overseeing the menu. The mood is southern Mediterranean rather than […]

Sketch Restaurant London Review: Inside Mayfair’s Most Theatrical Dining Townhouse

Oct 10th 2026

Sketch restaurant in London is what happens when a venue decides that dinner alone is not enough. It wants art, staircases, bathrooms, colour, ceremony, Champagne and, somewhere within all that, a very serious kitchen. The Conduit Street townhouse contains several different versions of itself. The Lecture Room & Library is the three-Michelin-starred dining room. The Gallery is the famous art-led brasserie and afternoon tea room. The Glade is the woodland fantasy. The Parlour does all-day […]

Arcus Rooftop Bar & Restaurant London Review: Bloomsbury Finally Gets Its Skyline Moment

Oct 08th 2026

Arcus Rooftop Bar & Restaurant in London is Bloomsbury looking upwards for once. Set on the tenth floor of The Imperial, it gives the neighbourhood something it has never quite had before: a proper rooftop restaurant with near-360-degree views, a large terrace, cocktails, sharing plates and the London skyline behaving shamelessly in the background. The idea is built around weather, light and seasonality, which is clever because London’s sky is rarely dull, even when it […]

Nakimushi Restaurant London Review: A New Japanese Townhouse in Notting Hill

Oct 06th 2026

Nakimushi restaurant in London arrives in Notting Hill with the advantage of already having a small mythology. Before opening as a three-story Japanese townhouse, its two halves existed as residencies: Urchin and Robin’s Ramen, both born within Chris D’Sylva’s Supermarket of Dreams orbit. The result is clever. Downstairs, there is ramen, speed and steam. Upstairs, the mood slows into a more intimate Japanese restaurant and bar, with robata, gyoza, karaage, turbot and a stronger sense […]

KID Restaurant London Review: Sertaç Dirik’s Soho Turkish Venue

Oct 03rd 2026

KID restaurant in London arrives in Soho with expectations already crowding the doorway. Sertaç Dirik helped turn Mangal II into one of London’s most interesting Turkish restaurants. David Carter has a habit of backing rooms that know how to make fire, bread and noise feel like culture rather than branding. This new Frith Street restaurant is built around Turkish cooking, particularly the Central Anatolian food of Dirik’s family, filtered through British produce and a very […]

Angler Restaurant London Review: Michelin-Starred Seafood Above the City

Sep 23rd 2026

Angler restaurant in London is one of those places that makes more sense once the lift doors open. Seven floors above the City, away from the pavements around Moorgate and Liverpool Street, it serves polished British seafood with skyline views and just enough hotel elegance to make lunch feel like an occasion. The cooking is precise rather than showy. Tuna tartare, lobster raviolo, Scottish cod, steamed turbot and Cornish monkfish all appear in arrangements that […]

ARA Restaurant London Review: Global Small Plates in Aldgate East

Sep 23rd 2026

ARA restaurant in London is the sort of venue East London does well when it stops trying to look too pleased with itself. It is casual, bright, easy to enter and far more interesting than the phrase “all-day dining” usually allows. The cooking moves around the map without asking for permission: tahini, gochujang, ceviche, kimchi, char siu, Turkish pepper, wild mushrooms, Basque cheesecake. In lesser hands, that could read like a menu assembled in an […]

Soho House Alternatives in London for Entrepreneurs and Executives: 10 Memberships Worth Considering

Sep 16th 2026

Soho House alternatives in London have become increasingly varied. For entrepreneurs and executives, the best options are not necessarily clubs that reproduce Soho House’s creative, sociable formula.

Best Exclusive London Clubs in 2026

Sep 11th 2026

London has no shortage of exclusive clubs, but the best venue depends heavily on the kind of night you want. Mayfair still dominates for VIP tables and celebrity-heavy crowds, while Soho is stronger for theatrical nightlife and Chelsea has developed a smaller, more fashion-led club scene. For 2026, our favourites in thes list of the best exclusive London clubs range from the provocative performances of The Box and Cirque Le Soir to the music-industry crowd […]

Bubala King’s Cross Restaurant London Review: A Vegetarian Middle Eastern Place

Sep 09th 2026

Bubala King’s Cross restaurant in London is proof that vegetarian food does not need to introduce itself apologetically. There is no fake meat, no health-food sermon, no sense that dinner is missing a main event. Instead, the table fills with laffa, burnt butter hummus, labneh, oyster mushroom skewers, halloumi, chilli, tahini and enough pickles to make the wine taste better. It is lively, generous and particularly good for groups. Come hungry, order the set menu […]

Soraya Restaurant London Review: Is This Persian Marylebone Place Worth Booking?

Sep 07th 2026

Soraya restaurant in London arrives in Marylebone with the full Pachamama Group treatment: generous cooking, a big room, careful design and the sense that dinner may quite easily become drinks, then one more round. The food is Persian in inspiration, but shaped for contemporary London. Expect herbs, flatbreads, charcoal grilling, rice, yoghurt, saffron, sour fruit and slow-cooked stews rather than a timid parade of small plates. It is still early days, but Soraya looks like […]

Coppa Club Tower Bridge Restaurant London Review: Is This Riverside Venue Worth Booking?

Sep 03rd 2026

Coppa Club Tower Bridge restaurant in London is not a place one books for culinary revelation. It is a restaurant one books because London is sitting outside the window, doing what London does best. The Thames and Tower Bridge are there. The Shard hovers across the water. The famous riverside pods, depending on the season, turn lunch into something close to a postcard. The food is broad, easy and designed to please: pizzas, pasta, salads, […]

Bulbul Restaurant London Review: Is This New Indian Place in the City Worth Booking?

Sep 02nd 2026

Bulbul restaurant in London arrives in the City with the sort of idea the Indian restaurant scene could use more of: not another grand curry room, not another colonial railway fantasy, but a restaurant interested in the food that rarely leaves home kitchens. The menu moves across India through small plates, regional techniques and a certain amount of contemporary polish. Crab appears inside a Tamil Nadu-style dosa. Goan shrimp is aged, braised and served on […]

Ixchel Restaurant London Review: Is This King’s Road Mexican Restaurant Worth Booking?

Sep 01st 2026

Ixchel restaurant in London is Chelsea’s idea of Mexico: polished, dimly lit, tequila-forward, and unlikely to let dinner remain a quiet affair. The food is Mexican by inspiration rather than strict geography. There are tostadas, tacos, quesadillas, tiraditos, robata-grilled dishes and enough salsa to keep the table busy. It is colourful, social and built for sharing. Come for cocktails, seafood, tacos and a room that feels ready for a second round before the first plate […]
