Best Negronis In London For Negroni Week 2026
22nd September 2026
In 1919, according to cocktail legend, Count Camillo Negroni walked into Florence’s Caffè Casoni and asked bartender Fosco Scarselli to strengthen his Americano by replacing the soda water with gin. A man who looked at alcohol and thought, this needs less water. We respect that. The result was gin, Campari and sweet vermouth in equal measure. More than a century later, Negroni Week returns from 21 to 27 September 2026, and London has interpreted “three ingredients” rather loosely. Count Camillo started it. London has taken it from here.

Top Table: MIKO Mei Fair
28th August 2026
Samyukta Nair’s new Thai dining room takes dishes people already know and love and treats them with the seriousness usually reserved for tasting menus and very expensive French sauces. There is no urge to dismantle, reinterpret or intellectualise them. Instead, Head Chef Soonthorn Apaipat concentrates on the harder stuff: balance, texture, heat, acidity and ingredients good enough to withstand very little interference.
Checking In: Hotel Café Royal
20th August 2026
Laden with branded shopping bags, crowds of people cross paths with one another; even those glued to their phones managing, miraculously, to avoid collision. Behind them, the unmistakable double deckers rumble past, their red occasionally punctuated by an equally iconic black cab. Where else could we be, but London? Where Regent Street meets Air Street, Piccadilly Circus is just a stone’s throw away, while the old-school elegance of Mayfair and the vibrancy of Soho are both within walking distance. It’s hard to conceive of a better location for Hotel Café Royal, a member of The Set, and a hotel with one foot in London’s glamorous history - and another in its contemporary incarnation.
Meet The Chef: Romy Gill of The Pem, Conrad London St. James

This September, chef Romy Gill MBE returns to a permanent restaurant kitchen for the first time in six years as she takes over The Pem at Conrad London St. James. The former owner and head chef at Romy's Kitchen in Thornbury brings regional Indian cooking to the heart of Westminster, with a sophisticated sharing-led menu taking centre stage.
