Built using the timber of two battleships, this Tudor-inspired building is a maze of mini shops connected by the sort of creaking staircase you’d find in a stately home. Despite this, the scale is snug rather than imposing. The store’s signature print archive (thousands of which are instantly recognisable) pops up on cards and notebooks in the heavenly stationery shop. But as well as whimsy, there are stacks of up-to-the minute fashion, beauty and homeware finds. A one-of-a-kind London landmark.

London is not a city short of wine bars and small plates. So when such a place becomes as renown as Bar Crispin you know it's going to be good. Headed by chef Fabien Spagnolo (who rustles up dishes such as crispy polenta, fried prawn sando, and devilled brown crab) and sommelier Alex Price who is an expert in low-intervention wines. This is not a spot to miss. 

We'd bet that the iconic egg-shaped loos at sketch are quite possibly the most Instagrammed place in London. This dynamic spaces houses an art gallery, a three-Michelin-star restaurant, cool bars and a wonderful spot for high tea all under one roof.

What differentiates Hauser & Wirth from its contemporaries is its lifestyle arm. Just a 10-minute stroll from the huge contemporary Savile Row gallery, its Farm Shop stocks organic produce from the Somerset outpost where there’s also a farmhouse to rent and a Piet Oudolf-designed garden. So after perusing an exhibition by Louise Bourgeois or George Rouy, you can pop there to find a secret wine bar for charcuterie and cheese sharing plates.
