There are many great places to get your hair done in London, but Hari's is an absolute classic. Pop into their location on the King's Road or head to Parson's Green for a stellar blowout. We always book Benjamin or Julie for the best haircut, Rebecca for colour, Amy for a blowout and Kate for nails.

Tucked between the Fulham and Gloucester roads is an old-fashioned pub – with Chesterfields and Victorian partitions – that has the propensity to feel like the Mediterranean. On any summer’s evening it’s buzzing, with people perched on the wall outside sipping Aperol Spritzes. The south- facing terrace is always fully booked on sunny weekends. And in the winter diners will find reliable British favourites such as beef Wellington on the menu. A classic London pub that isn’t sticky or stuck in a rut.

A queue often snakes out the door and past the dog bowl at this charming boulangerie-pâtisserie by Robin Birley (also behind Mayfair members’ club 5 Hertford Street). While east London’s bakeries have stripped everything back, in comparison this jewel box of a shop is completely over the top, with hand-painted murals on the walls. Grab a coffee and still-warm croissant or chilled madeleine and find a bench on Chelsea Green.

Over the past decade, The Surprise has pretty much become THE place to be in Chelsea. This charming pub serves classic British food with a modern twist.
