The Championships fortnight reorganises London's calendar — strawberry-and-cream lunches at Daylesford, pre-match drinks at The Berkeley and The Lanesborough, Centre Court tickets and a quiet dinner after.
Belgravia
The Berkeley's pastry counter — Grolet's first London room, the trompe-l'œil fruits the audience has only seen on Instagram
Chelsea
Royal Hospital Road's three-Michelin-star founding flagship, held continuously since 2001
Covent Garden
St Martin's Court's 1890s seafood institution — Theatreland's pre-curtain Dover sole
Strand
The 1893 hotel bar that wrote the cocktail manual the rest of London still reads
Piccadilly
Piccadilly's 1707 grocery — the food hall, the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon, the hampers everyone takes home
Mayfair
The Brook Street Art Deco grande dame — afternoon tea in the Foyer, a Foyer Bar by Bryan O'Sullivan, and the most famous lobby in London.
Notting Hill
Clare Smyth's three-Michelin-star Notting Hill flagship — modern British cooking at the peninsula's ceiling
Notting Hill
Brett Graham's Notting Hill three-star, regained and ranked London's best for 2026
Marylebone
Karam Sethi's Marylebone coastal-Indian — one Michelin star held since 2012
Fulham
London's longest-standing Michelin-starred pub — Fulham backstreets, game and wild food
Mayfair
Pierre Gagnaire's three-Michelin-star Mayfair drawing room — the most theatrical fine-dining address in W1.
Marylebone
Claude and Lucy Bosi's Parisian-brasserie second site — the Marylebone room that opened where Daylesford Blandford Street used to sit
Piccadilly
Piccadilly's grand café — the Viennese-Parisian brasserie that runs from breakfast to supper
Mayfair
Three Michelin stars in the panelled drawing room of Mayfair's most discreet hotel — the defining London fine-dining address.
St James's
Since 1742 — Jermyn Street oysters, game in season, and a clubland Britain that has stopped existing almost everywhere else.
