On Park Lane, with Green Park directly opposite and Mayfair unfolding beyond it, the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane is exceptionally well placed for a day of wandering, museums, shops and the inevitable requests for snacks along the way. Yet inside, the mood is considerably more calm.
This December, Mayfair’s culinary calendar gets a particularly tempting addition as Rosi, the elegant restaurant at The Beaumont Mayfair, welcomes three familiar names from the world of food and wine for an exclusive festive feast.
This autumn, London Hilton on Park Lane gives its afternoon tea a deliciously darker twist with Once Upon a Villain, a theatrical new chapter inspired by Disney’s most notorious characters. Arriving at Park Corner Brasserie on 2 October, it trades princess-perfect sweetness for Maleficent, Dr Facilier and a cast of beautifully wicked influences.
For years, the flowers at Claridge’s have been almost as photographed as the hotel’s famous interiors. Now, admirers no longer have to leave empty-handed. Claridge’s Flowers has opened on Brooks Mews, bringing a little of the hotel’s floral theatre to the streets of Mayfair.
There are few cars more closely associated with civic grandeur than a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Now, one of the City of London’s historic ceremonial limousines has been given a new lease of life, with British EV technology company Electrogenic sympathetically converting a 1973 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI to electric power.
With its discreet setting just moments from Bond Street, The Beaumont Mayfair has long offered a refined retreat in the heart of Mayfair, and its recently revamped spa provides another reason to linger.
Café 22 has returned with a distinctly more relaxed mood. Overseeing the reopening is Guillaume Glipa, whose résumé includes some of London's most fashionable addresses, and the intention here is clear: a restaurant with the polish of Mayfair, but the easy charm of a Parisian neighbourhood café. It is the sort of place designed for lingering - over lunch that stretches into the afternoon, a late brunch or an aperitif that turns into dinner.
Lympstone Manor has partnered with children’s lifestyle brand Banwood to create a new family escape designed around exploring the Devon countryside and coast.
On Monday 5th October 2026, Bentley’s Oyster Bar & Grill will welcome chef and writer Alasdair Gill for a special one-night dinner inspired by his new book, Knives and Spoons.
We were very keen to experience The Ampersand Hotel’s Jurassic Afternoon Tea in South Kensington. It’s a wonderfully imaginative take on one of Britain’s best-loved traditions, with a family-friendly, prehistoric theme.
Unlike many central London restaurants that try to cater to all, hosting a menu with a myriad of items, Fenix in Mayfair has taken an altogether different approach. The new Greek Mediterranean restaurant has set the bar high as luxury meets warmth, with its Cyclades and Aegean dishes distinctively Greek in flavour, style and aesthetic.
116 at The Athenaeum is a perfect example of a family run (and family focused) restaurant done right. Set inside the opulent five star hotel, just opposite Green Park, you couldn’t ask for a better location. A plaque as you enter tells you that Jimi Hendrix stayed in this very place, reminding you that the Athenaeum takes its artist roots very seriously.
Our four-legged friends have never had it so good. From handsome interiors and beautifully crafted accessories to clever additions that make life with a dog that little bit easier, we’ve rounded up the latest luxury finds for the discerning hound. After all, there’s no reason a dog-friendly home can’t be every bit as stylish as the rest of the house.
Our summer edit brings together the brands, makers and experiences capturing our attention - a collection of beautifully considered gifts designed to inspire, delight and elevate the everyday.
There are few places where a story as old as The Odyssey feels quite so at home. In AlUla, Saudi Arabia’s ancient desert landscape, the tale of Odysseus has found a new stage - not on the page, but in the stars.
There is something quietly appealing about a restaurant that doesn’t feel the need to announce itself. Since opening on Mount Street this summer, Automat has been steadily finding its place in Mayfair - and now, with a reworked menu and the arrival of Autobar, it is entering a new chapter.
Summer may be slipping into its final scene, but there’s no need to dread the return to routine. From beautifully considered stationery and clever desk essentials to smart tech and inspiring reads, our back-to-school edit is designed to lighten the load and make the new term feel more exciting.
There are few places better suited to a reset than the Andalusian countryside, where ancient olive groves, Mediterranean woodland and wide-open skies set the pace. This autumn, Finca La Bobadilla will welcome its first wellness retreat since its extensive renovation, inviting guests to spend four days moving, breathing and reconnecting with the landscape.
There are country escapes, and then there are places that make a weekend feel faintly like a secret. Rising above the treetops at Sandringham, the newly restored Water Tower is one such retreat: a remarkable Victorian landmark reimagined as an intimate hideaway for two.
From a digital detox retreat designed to help you properly switch off, to innovative sun defence, a margarita ready to pour, frozen hot chocolate and luxurious new haircare, The Summer Edit brings together the brands, products and experiences we’re loving this season - all designed to make summer feel that little bit more comfortable and indulgent.
