This beloved local boozer, owned by Tom Conran (son of Sir Terence), has celebrity regulars that include Stella McCartney and Adwoa Aboah. The bar – a little scruffy around the edges, as it has been since it opened in 1995 – is a destination for pints of Guinness, and the white- tableclothed dining room upstairs is a place to settle in for oysters followed by fish stew. The murals by Paul Slater are worth a close look – another nod to how the pub prioritises fun over formality at every turn.

Med Salleh London has built up its reputation on its signature 'Rare Beef Pho'. Left to simmer for over 18 hours, the beef bone marrow broth is as delicious as comfort food gets. Veggies don't fret; there's also a tofu, vegetable filled, and mushroom infused Pho for you! With some street grilled plates on the side; it's a recipe for the perfect evening. 

This converted barge on the Regent’s Canal just behind Paddington is on a mission to share the best in British cheese, pairing a thoughtfully curated array of the best artisanal cheese from around the country with beautifully made condiments, pickles and fancies and a European wine menu to match.
