The 12 Best Hotel Bars In London, Ranked By Most Expensive Cocktail

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Heidi Lauth Beasley |Sinead Cranna |Daisy Meager

Most expensive cocktail: £18The Standard, London in King’s Cross has taken a page out of Studio 54’s playbook with their late-night lounge. The disco ball could be mistaken for a planet, there’s plenty of orange crushed velvet sofas to pose on, and a sea of sequin jumpsuits to match the glittering skyline views. The house cocktails aren’t ashamed to be a bit silly, or very sweet and blue, and it’s ideal boogie territory once the DJ hits the decks. Quiet catch-ups need not apply.
The Rivoli Bar - Review - Mayfair - London - The Infatuation

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Heidi Lauth Beasley

If Bravo is reading this, we’re ready and waiting for a The Real Housewives Of The Ritz series where the minutiae of a Forbes-worthy divorce settlement is discussed between side-eye sips of glacial Gibsons. That’s just the kind of craving that occurs when you’re people-watching in The Rivoli Bar.
The Leyton Engineer

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Heidi Lauth Beasley

We’re not entirely sure what’s meant to go on in town halls, but we do know that drinking a crisp pint is better than conducting passive aggressive meetings about the fate of a new spate of loft conversions. On that note, The Leyton Engineer—housed in E10’s former town hall—has undergone the kind of subtle face-lift that preserves all those antique smile lines while also giving it a young, fresh air of IPA cool.
Kamu at The Coach & Horses Leyton

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Heidi Lauth Beasley

Seeing as London is the kind of place where you can lose a pair of sunglasses and not notice for 14 consecutive slate-gray days, it’s hard to appreciate just how many great sun-trap beer gardens there are in Leyton. But we have a particular soft spot for the one at The Coach & Horses, a classic, Chesterfield-lounging boozer that also happens to be home to some decent Sri Lankan dishes, courtesy of kitchen residency Kamu.
The 12 Best Hotel Restaurants In London

At its core, The Ritz Restaurant is a theatre kid who went to finishing school. There’s the ensemble cast of servers in morning coats, the ties-required, glitzy costumes of the diners, and tableside drama of the flame-throwing persuasion. A ‘Versailles, eat your heart out’ Mayfair dining room serves as the set and everything—the voluptuous, pearl white langoustine on your plate, the light tinkling of piano keys, the blushing blue skyscape hand-painted ceiling—is aggressively beautiful.
Sho Foo Doh at Filly Brook

If someone were to draw a beer-garden version of that ascent of man diagram, Filly Brook’s covered terrace would be its final beautiful form, standing on two legs, shoulders back, and making eyes at the nearest bottle of biodynamic orange wine.
Where To Side-Sit & People-Watch In London

The best seat in the house: A restaurateur as accomplished as Jeremy King makes every seat a good one. We like to be against a wall, maybe under a photo of Warhol. What you’re seeing: The glory days. When every lunch in St. James’s turned into dinner and a martini was welcome any time of the day. You’ll get plenty of old Le Caprice heads here. Furs, Ferraris, Louboutin, and a handful of divorces to season the schnitzel. The best seat in the house: The two-top in front of the mirror.

Just AddedYou’ll get a pleasant whiff of minced meat and onions before you even enter Bayt Sajj. As soon as you do though, you’ll notice the big round sajj ovens topped with thin, crispy-edged flatbreads. It’s an office-worker's dream lunch spot with hand-held Lebanese wraps for under a tenner, or an ideal stop-off during a day of shopping in central thanks to the excellent labneh wraps that are perfect for a quick snack on one of their tables out front.

Where To Go For A Summer Date

3 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Heidi Lauth Beasley |Rianne Shlebak |Daisy Meager |Jake Missing

Lucia’s is the kind of absolute scene that will either fuel a new flame or reignite the flirt appeal of whoever keeps leaving orphan socks on your bathroom floor. It could be vinyl soundtrack, the grapefruit Jarritos palomas, or the taco-ready crowd swarming the courtyard, but there’s a proper frisson in the air at this lively Hackney Wick taqueria. Plus, all expert matchmakers approve of Lucia’s golden couple: the beef barbacoa tacos and an ice-cold bottle of Victoria.
