Before every other restaurant was inviting guest chefs to mix up their menus, there was Carousel. Not quite a pop-up or a supper club, it’s a space with a constant string of short-term residencies from some of the world’s coolest chefs.

Spring for a sleek bob or go bold with bangs at one of our favourite hair salons in London. Even though you’ll likely be perched between famous Brits in the salon chair, the hairdressers at George Northwood will ensure you feel like the real VIP. Cut, colour and styling here are all fab fab fab.
