One of the coolest restaurants in London is just across the road! In the summer the rooftop bar adds al fresco class to the hidden fading glamour of the dining space. Friendly staff.

Racine was a famous Michelin star restaurant in Knightsbridge in the 90’s. This is the new one, same chef, same amazing French Bistrot style cuisine, above a pub about 5 minutes walk from the flat. Signature dish of ‘tete de veau’ is delicious. Highly recommended

Bars and Nightlife
Like stepping back in time to a grand old country house in around 1750, with a select short list of interesting cocktails. This is a discrete yet busy hidden and stylish place to have a nightcap. Look out for the creepy stuffed cat and gunpowder cocktail.

Ridiculously brilliant and extraordinarily cheesy, a live band play dancefloor filling requests for the cavorting hordes of office workers who were going out for a quick one but are still throwing themselves around with drunken abandon at 2am. Messy.
