Cambio De Tercio is a cosy Spanish restaurant with delicious innovative tapas and Spanish classics. Order the eight-hour roasted tomatoes and send us a pic; we'll be terribly jealous!

Even if they’re sheltering under an umbrella for much of the year in this city, Londoners still like to look good. And where do they go for all things beauty? Santi London. We like this pristine spa for facials and rejuvenating massages, sure, but where they really shine is the realm of medical aesthetics. 

London’s two best Polish restaurants are down the road from each other in South Ken. There is nothing modern about Ognisko or Daquise but they’re both consistently ram-packed. Daquise is where Edward Raczyński, the exiled Polish president, plotted to overthrow the communist regime. The beetroot gazpacho and potato salad are timeless, as is the sprinkling of dill that comes on top of everything. Always cheery, this is the sort of place where the maître d’ greets regulars by name.

Named after the German artist Sigmar Polke, this striking design store and interior studio stocks a sophisticated blend of original modernist European furniture and contemporary ceramics. The eclectic mix of light fittings, stoneware planters and teak sideboardsis procured by a sharp-eyed team who are also happy to consult on interiorprojects around the world.
