  <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">Since the revered hotelier César Ritz opened the doors to the hotel on 25th May 1906, the Ritz Restaurant has been a leading light in the luxury cuisine scene of London. No expense was spared in creating the opulent interior design and style of the restaurant, both of which are as fantastical and impressive today as they were then. The outlet quickly became a favourite of key figures including King Edward VII, Anna Pavolva and Paul Getty. As the years went by, the restaurants penchant for exquisite flavours and five-star service saw it develop fans from far and wide, including Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Noel Coward and Charlie Chaplin.</p>

  <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">With the wide array of excellent fine dining institutions in London, historical legacy will only get you so far. No venue can rest on its laurels of interior beauty if the food and service doesn’t live up to scratch. Luckily for The Ritz, any concerns about its fare becoming outdated were swiftly put to bed when John Williams took over as Executive Chef. He made it his mission to ensure that the food suited the calibre of the restaurant and that every diner’s experience was “wholly anchored in the present day, if not looking slightly to the future”. For over two decades he has steered The Ritz to new heights, creating succulent and seasonal menus that showcase the very best of British produce and uses the “highest premium ingredients to ensure that each dish captures the natural aroma and exquisite taste”. He has also been a huge champion of the restaurant’s sustainability objectives, encouraging responsible sourcing of local ingredients that support local suppliers and “contribute to the preservation of our environment”.</p>

   <span style="line-height: 1.1;">The Ritz’s ability to constantly reinvent its offering, whilst retaining its unrivalled historical pedigree, is another factor as to why it continues to hold sway amongst the capital’s best restaurants. The Michelin guide’s review talks of how its breath-taking surroundings are mirrored in the “flamboyancy” of its delivery and the luxuriousness of its ingredients. It applauds its “classic techniques and the influence of Escoffier” as well as the “sharing Arts de la Table” whose “dishes keep the theatre of the gueridon trolley alive” but it saves its high praise for Executive Chef John Williams MBE who “remains a guiding force” whose “influence is omnipresent in this celebrated dining experience”. It is hardly a wonder that it continues to hold a coveted Michelin Star.</span>

Its award-winning Afternoon Tea is a must-visit for any occasion that calls for this charming opulent joy. There are also a range of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including vegetarian and vegan menus. To truly enjoy the decadence of The Ritz London, one could opt for a tailored fine dining experience with one of their specially curated five or seven course epicurean menus. One of their current event options is the Caviar &amp; Champagne Experience, which is as refined and rich as it sounds, all exclusively serviced in the stunning Long Gallery and Terrace.</p>

  <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">Art can be so many things. As well as its multiple mediums, it can be sophisticated, funny, comforting, striking, soothing or another provocatively emotive generator, so it is important to find the art that is right for you, your home and the space in which it is to live. <br><br>Perhaps you would like a landscape that reminds you of your country home in your city centre apartment? Maybe a relaxing seascape to remind you to visit the water? Or would you prefer something powerful that reinvigorates the soul whenever you see it? The key is to make sure that the art you buy for your home is the right size and composition to fit in your home and create the atmosphere that you seek.</p>

    <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">Ultimately, art is a deeply personal choice. Choose pieces that resonate with you on an emotional level and align with your aesthetic preferences. Trust your instincts and seek art that brings you joy and enriches your life. Don't solely chase trends or potential financial gains; genuine appreciation for the art should be your primary motivation.</p>

   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Great art can often last beyond a lifetime, becoming a treasured item that is passed down through the generations. Possessions of this value should be considered as anchor pieces in your home, with the potential to lay the foundation for the setting the tone of a room. If you have a beloved art piece you want to use in a space, be it a sculpture or painting, think about its proportions, its colours and its themes and how best to mirror, enhance or connect to that with the remaining design of the room.</span>
   </div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Make sure to take into account the mood that the art is likely to invoke and whether it will work in the room you have chosen; for example, you may not want something too dark or morose in a kitchen or family room. Also, it is crucial for you to ensure you have the correct lighting and, if required, frame for your art piece so as to celebrate its wonders rather than risk drowning it out or devaluing its story.</span>

  <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">Originally part of the Burlington Estate, Savile Row was built between 1731 and 1735 and immediately began its journey as a purveyor of luxury boutiques for the elite amongst society. As its look and retail brand list evolved, its commitment to quality did not; firmly establishing itself as a collective at the forefront of design in menswear and tailoring. Clients from all over the world continue to see its shops as the experts when it comes to creating the right wardrobe, no matter the season or occasion. In fact, Savile Row’s influence on international menswear and the ‘art of the suit’ can also be seen in the linguistics world, since today the Japanese for suit is ‘sabiro’.</p>

  <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">Savile Row has certainly been a pioneer when it comes to designing British bespoke – it may even have been the location for the word’s provenance since it was gleaned from when customers used to choose their cloth and therefore it was said to “be spoken for”.

The Icon: Buckingham Palace - UK Sotheby's International Realty

There are few words fitting enough to describe the majesty that surrounds Buckingham Palace. Indeed, perhaps this is one of the few buildings in the world that needs no introduction. As the home of the British Royal Family, Buckingham Palace is a prestigious landmark that sits at the very heart of London in the City of Westminster.

  <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">The central building of the palace was originally a grand townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 and known as Buckingham House. Almost 60 years later, it was bought by King George III and used as a private residence for Queen Charlotte. The initial structure was expanded upon over time, but it was only after Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837 that Buckingham Palace officially became a royal residence. The full palace that we know today, including the iconic balcony on which the Royal family greets crowds during state occasions, was the result of additional construction work done in the 19th and early 20th centuries.</p>

There are plenty of surprising features to the complex that go unseen, including that the Palace has its own post office, police station, jewellers, ATM, cinema, surgery and an indoor swimming pool. Here is an overview of what else you can find inside its hallowed halls….</p>

The ballroom is the largest of all the rooms and was actually the first one to have electric lighting installed.</p>

Assembled by King George IV and his predecessors, pieces from the Royal Collection can be found in various areas of the palace. In the State Rooms, visitors will be able to view paintings, vases, an ornate roll-top desk and a gilded piano that was given to Queen Victoria. The Picture Gallery is a vast hall that contains works from Rembrandt, Canaletto and Van Dyck, as well as Vermeer’s Music Lesson. Many of the items on display are changed regularly and much of the Royal Collection itself is lent out to museums and galleries around the world for temporary exhibitions.</p>

  <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">Changing the Guard, also known as ‘Guard Mounting’, is perhaps the most famous ceremony conducted at Buckingham Palace. The King’s Guard made up of detachments at the palace and the nearby St. James’s Palace, hands over its duties to the New Guard, who march to the palace gates from Wellington Barracks dressed in bright uniforms and accompanied by a marching band. The handover ceremony features elaborate choreography and a sense of spectacle befitting a royal tradition. Changing the Guard takes place four times a week at 11 a.m. and daily during the summer. For Royal aficionados or lovers of history, Buckingham Palace is an iconic symbol of tradition, heritage and British culture. It is certainly one of the most recognisable icons of London and definitely worth a visit for those who want to experience the very best the capital has to offer.</p>

  <div style="text-align: center;">
   <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Glyndebourne Festival was founded in 1934 by John Christie and his opera singer wife, Audrey Mildmay. Christie, a music enthusiast with a passion for opera, transformed a portion of his family estate into an opera house, driven by his desire to create a venue for high-quality opera performances and the festival's inaugural season featured Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro and Così fan tutte, setting a high standard for musical excellence that continues to the modern day.</span>

   <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Over the years, Glyndebourne has evolved. During World War II, the festival paused but ever since it has grown and shows no signs of stopping. In 1994, a new opera house was opened, with state-of-the-art acoustics and seating over 1,200 music fans. Today, the festival remains a family affair, with Gus Christie, John Christie’s grandson, at the helm.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Attending Glyndebourne is as much about the sartorial experience as it is about the opera itself. While the dress code says ‘casual’, you’ll certainly get a few odd looks if you turn up in jeans and a T-shirt. The festival is famed for its showstopping black tie outfits, which add to the sense of occasion, and the dress code is sort of ‘unspoken’.</span>

   <span style="line-height: 1.1;">For men, a tuxedo, black bow tie, and polished black shoes are typical. Some may opt for a white dinner jacket, especially in the warmer summer. For women, evening gowns or elegant cocktail dresses are complemented by hats and fascinators. However, the festival is an artistic affair and is the perfect place for showing your personality. Attendees often wear bold colours and intricate patterns – you wouldn’t be out of place with some extra large shoulder pads or a feathered tutu!</span>

Traditional alfresco feasts range from simple yet elegant affairs with champagne, smoked salmon, and strawberries, to more elaborate setups complete with candelabras, fine china, and the finest foods served with coloushes. The festival encourages creativity, and people take pride in curating their pre-opera meal.</span>

Mayfair Claridge's Hotel

Step into 160 years of luxury at Claridge’s, where Art Deco elegance, iconic guests, and world-class dining define this Mayfair legend. 

<div class="px-5 sm:px-10 max-w-4xl mx-auto"> 
 <p class="font-benton text-lg text-center leading-[30px] text-gray-700 font-normal pt-5">Whether you're looking to take a break from shopping with a midday martini, enjoy historic hospitality on a weekend getaway in the lap of luxury, or savour a world-class supper at one of <a href="https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/the-journal/best-fine-dining-restaurants-in-london/" rel="noopener">London's top restaurants</a>, Claridge's is the place to go. A timeless icon of British hospitality, and for good reason, this luxury London hotel, celebrated for its Art Deco elegance, first gained prominence over 160 years ago when it was visited by Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert. Since then, it has withstood two world wars, and undergone multiple renovations, and yet its unshakable reputation endures.</p>

  <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">The iconic British establishment’s rich history is one of the reasons for its endless allure. It all started in a single townhouse at 51 Brook Street by William and Marianne Claridge, who bought the five adjoining buildings in 1854 and opened as a hotel in its own right a couple of years later. It was then acquired in 1893 by Richard D'Oyly Carte, owner of the Savoy, and was closed to allow a significant redesign led by C W Stephens, the man responsible for Harrods.</p>

  <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">Throughout the last two centuries, the hotel has played host to movie stars and statesmen, fashion designers and global dignitaries. In the 1920s, it experienced an influx of bobs, sequins and dropped hems when it became the place to do the Charleston for the flappers, and during WWII, it put a roof over the heads of states escaping war-torn territories. In the 1950s, it was the home away from home for Hollywood stars, including Audrey Hepburn, Carey Grant and Spencer Tracey, who famously said he would rather go to Claridges than heaven when he died, while in the 90s and early aughts, it was the hot spot for the catwalk queens like Naomi Campell and Kate Moss.</p>

  <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">The hotel's Art Deco influence has also played a significant role in its iconic status. The magnificent foyer, designed by the renowned Oswald Milne in the second decade of the twentieth century, is defined by its black-and-white marble floors, shimmering chandeliers, and stylish, angular furnishings. The Deco design culminates at the Claridge's Bar, where guests can enjoy classic cocktails and soak up the ambience of the era, which still stands today.</p>

    <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">In at number 23 is Kol, a sophisticated celebration of modern Mexican cuisine with superlative British ingredients. This authentic Latin American restaurant was launched in 2020 by Santiago Lastra. He had a vision to create the flavours of his heritage with predominantly British ingredients. This lofty goal presented its own range of challenges and involved some innovative substitutions to compensate accordingly – think sea buckthorn in place of lime. Today, the restaurant’s only imports are true Mexican essentials – corn for the tortillas, native chilies and delicious chocolate. Kol has fast become “one of London’s hottest tickets in the city’s post-pandemic restaurant renaissance” and the 50 Best judges recommend you don’t skip the “purple carrot mole with fermented blackcurrant and the excellent steamed halibut with kelp butter and pine nuts''.</p>

Having won the ‘One to Watch Award’ in 2021, this gastronomic haven has gone from strength to strength, even moving location to The Strand and incorporating the interior talents of David Thulstrup. Ikoyi is helmed by Jeremy Chan and Ire Hassan-Odukale, a pair who prefer to buck the convention of fine dining restaurants and create “a culinary style that defies categorization”. Chan combines flavours from across Africa and Asia with international techniques and fresh UK produce to cultivate a singular dining experience he terms “a journey through bold heat”. His not-to-be-missed dishes include the signature smoked jollof rice, drunken chick toast and the desserts flavoured with Scotch Bonnet (if you can handle it!).</p>

Founded by Scottish chef Isaac McHale in 2013, The Clove Club is a refreshing venue with a surprising talent for reinventing traditional flavours and showcasing an elegant and inventive seasonal tasting menu. Despite the ever changing menu, the recommendations from the 50 Best include “McHale’s famous raw Orkney scallop with hazelnut, clementine and truffle; veal sweetbread baked in hay and served with aromatic brown butter; or a memorable Braeburn apple tarte tatin”.</p>
