The Galvan Girls

Hotel Olden stays convincingly local, with regulars drifting between the bar and its longstanding Italian restaurant. Tables are tight - but ask for Massimo, he runs the show - and plates of veal Milanese, penne alla vodka and sizzling crêpe Suzette remain deliciously unchanged. After skiing, Campari sodas fuel après-run chatter as locals pile in. A familiar base over the years, the hotel remains in the hands of F1 whizz Bernie Ecclestone.

A contemporary and modern museum that houses the collection of Lisbon businessman José Manuel Rodrigues Berardo. You won't regret spending an afternoon here looking at the art. 

An outpost of one of the premier contemporary art galleries in the world, Gagosian always houses an intriguing collection of modern and contemporary art work. Its opening parties are particularly wonderful, as is the spectacular sleek design by Richard Meier.

A legendary restaurant with fresh seafood and an authentic ambiance. It is very popular with the locals, which is always a good sign. Start with the house smoked Pata Negra and have the Rock Crab or the Spider-Crab after, make sure to book in advance. 

A cute little Italian ice cream shop with 25 mouthwatering flavours of traditional gelato and sorbet. Truly the best ice cream in town, we just can't get enough of chocolate and caramel with a pinch of salt.

Two Michelin star restaurant with very creative and inventice dishes by the famous chef José Avillez. This special experience is a great place for a celebration dinner. Try the famous 'garden of the goose that laid the golden egg'. 

Visit this former monastery of the Order of Saint Jeromea, it was listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its remarkable architecture. 

This is one of the Australian-owned coffee shops credited with kicking off London’s third-wave scene. There are two Fitzrovia spots, a five-minute walk from each other, and they’re both brimming with bircher muesli breakfast meetings followed by queues out the door for the home-baked brioche sandwiches at lunchtime. We rate the Great Titchfield joint, which is a little bigger and a little further from the rush of Oxford Circus.

This incredible shop is one of the most elegant places we know to shop in town. We particularly love their stunning tunics & kaftans, so stock up for summer.

Omotesando is a specialty coffee shop hailing from Tokyo. The minimalist design is striking and the egg sandos are out of this world.
