Not much of a secret anymore, this comedy club is recognised as one of London’s favourites, with tickets for its intimate shows sold on a first-come, first-served basis."

"The Leicester Square Theatre has an illustrious past, as it was the venue of the Cavern Club in the swinging Sixties. The group The Small Faces had a residency there, the Rolling Stones played there with the Who, and the Sex Pistols held several gigs there, including their preview of 'London Calling'. Over the last few years, it's been a venue to some of the world's top comedy acts."

"Camden Comedy Club helped London earn its reputation for being a city that never sleeps: every night of the week, you can hedge your bets that something will be going on at this venue above the Camden Head. Whether it’s stand-up, improv or sketch comedy with world-class talent like Alan Carr, Russell Howard and Harry Hill, bringing the good vibes is this venue’s modus operandi."

"This is the kind of comedy night that hosts the intellectual clever comics of Radio 4 and the Guardian. The kind that weave a whole story, or create funny characters before hitting you with their comedy. This is grown up comedy for all those who like comedy mixed with fine dining, good conversation and a nice glass of whisky."

"There are now 3 Amused venues in London, one in Soho, another in Camden, and the third in Covent Garden downstairs in the Australian themed pub, 'Walkabout'. This perhaps tells you a little about the kind of comedy they put on. The group also run comedy courses for beginners and absolute beginners for anyone hoping to get in on the act."

"Coya’s Peruvian food has proved perennially popular thanks to a menu of vibrant flavours, colours and textures. Part of the appeal lies in the bar's very good pisco sours, which somehow help mealtimes go swimmingly."

"One of its many sources of pride is this post-industrial building that sees you emerging from a rather dark and dingy alleyway into a courtyard covered in exquisite graffiti, lit up like a pretty little fairytale. Not the original kind, though – this fairytale is much sweatier and sprinkled with house, techno and disco bangers. Tip: Bussey is best enjoyed al fresco in the summer when you can relish 360-degree views from the rooftop."

"A list of famous London buildings wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Britain’s tallest building. The Shard is one of the newest additions to the city’s skyline and one of the most astonishing architectural designs in the world. Take a stroll across the famous London Bridge and snap a photo as you stand at the foot of the incredible glass tower."

"Scraping the sky at 306 metres, western Europe’s tallest building boasts a high-end hotel, restaurants and bars and London’s highest viewing platform—an unobstructed 360-degree view stretching as far as 64 kilometres. Here are 12 more observation decks with thrilling views."

"You don't have the time for kaiseki, or the means for Nobu, and you're not gonna get too up in arms about the state of your shibasu. You Me Sushi is the takeaway service (with a few tables kept inside each bit-more-than-hole-in-the-wall) that fits of the people, and they're conveniently spread across the city. A 36-piece "Sea Box" will get you ten salmon nigiri, six salmon and avocado inside out rolls, six crabstick and avocado inside out rolls, six salmon maki rolls, and eight pieces of salmon sashimi, all for just £27.45."

"Knightsbridge’s Zuma restaurant is modelled on the traditional Japanese Izakaya style of informal dining with an elegant interior divided into a main dining area, a sushi counter with a robata tosho table and a kotatsu room. All were designed by the revered Tokyo-based architecture and design company Super Potato. An open kitchen allows diners to watch the talented chefs as they prepare the selection of Japanese treats."

"Zuma in Knightsbridge offers a sophisticated twist on the traditional Japanese Izakaya style, with many dishes cooked on a robata grill, like sister restaurant Roka. Zuma has been one of the most popular restaurants in London for over a decade and shows no sign of slowing down yet. Try the barley miso marinated baby chicken, oven roasted on cedar wood or the roasted lobster with green chili and garlic hojiso butter."

"The best way to describe Zuma and its continued success is that ten years after I started doing this job it remains one of the most booked restaurants in the city. A decade ago, the only other restaurant that was really at this level of desirability was The Ivy. The fact that Zuma created that level of appeal and has maintained it is largely down to Rainer Becker, the head chef and founder."

"Dinings SW3 has launched a new takeout range of premium bento boxes, a Japanese culinary staple which dates back more than 1000 years. This includes some of the Knightsbridge restaurant’s most popular dishes, such as the grilled black cod and line caught sea bass. Pair with a bottle Dinings SW3’s very own sake for the full experience."
