Silo is zero-waste, so it has such inventive dishes, but you can feast with a good conscience. Last I went they had this massive parmesan-topped quaver crisp that sounds bonkers but tasted amazing. —Amel Mukhtar, associate features writer, British Vogue
Go to Zephyr for the chic interiors but stay for the delicious food. The menu is full of fresh takes on classic Greek dishes and the cocktails are just as good. There’s also a late-night bar under the restaurant so you don’t have to go far for a nightcap. —Taylor Lashley, manager, social media, Vogue US
I’m someone who always wants to have a fun dinner—so it’s the clubby atmosphere of Casa Cruz, Juan Santa Cruz’s Notting Hill restaurant, that keeps me coming back again and again whenever I’m in London. (Although the orecchiette ain’t bad either.) Lounge in one of their signature hunter green banquets, order a pisco sour, and enjoy the scene. —Elise Taylor, senior living writing, Vogue US

For some reason, the most outrageous—and brilliant—nights I’ve ever had in London have started at Louie. The ground floor restaurant is chic and buzzy, the first floor glamorous and sexy—but the upstairs Alligator Bar is where the night really gets started. Head there on Thursday nights for live jazz and a fun crowd. It’ll be 2 a.m. before you know it. —Alyson Lowe, associate director of audience development, British Vogue
Visiting this hotel will exceed all your expectations while in London—and stopping in for a bite at Pavyllon, Michelin-starred Yannick Alléno’s new outpost inside the hotel, simply tops the cake. It just opened this summer, and if you’re looking to treat yourself to French cuisine that pays homage to its host city, make this a stop on your tour of the city. Just make sure to make your reservation in advance—Chef Yannick is a hot commodity! —Atalie Gimmel, associate director, social media, Vogue US
From their fresh-baked croissants to the lunchtime sandwich specials, you can’t go wrong with anything you order at Layla bakery. It’s located on a quaint corner in Notting Hill and I’d recommend getting there early to beat the early morning and/or lunch rush. —Taylor Lashley, manager, social media, Vogue US
What to Do
I’m forever shocked by the number of Londoners who have never been to the Wallace Collection, set on a Marylebone square and home to an irresistible, hodge-podge collection that encompasses everything from Limoges enamel to Canaletto’s Venetian waterscapes. The Wallace family bequeathed it to the nation in 1897, including the jewel in its crown: Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s “The Swing”, which underwent a restoration in 2021. Make your way through room after room, admiring Rembrandts and Rubens, then head around the corner to Ravinder Bhogal’s Jikoni for lunch (the prawn toast Scotch egg would feature in my death row meal). —Hayley Maitland, acting executive news and features editor, British Vogue
