This weekend, all eyes are on London as the fashion pack descends on the capital for London Fashion Week. So whether you’re a London local or planning a day trip, our team at Wallis HQ have rounded up their favourite hotspots to visit.
Simona, Senior Digital Editor
“Renowned pastry chef Dominique Ansel opens his new London eatery, the Dominique Ansel Treehouse, in Covent Garden this month. He invented the cronut, so you can be sure there’ll be some tempting treats on offer.”
Molly, Digital Editorial Coordinator
“There really is so much to explore at Seven Dials, from independent boutiques to five-star dining. I particularly love the vibrant colours of Neal's Yard- it’s beautiful courtyard is every Instagrammer's dream.”
Lily, Digital Editor
“For a special day out, you can’t beat a trip to the Royal Opera House. Home of the Royal Ballet and the Royal Opera, enjoy a glass of fizz at the Champagne Bar and browse the ROH Collections, an archive documenting the rich history of the Opera House.”
Emily, PR Officer
“For drinks, I love Reverend JW Simpson on Goodge Street. It’s a quirky little underground cocktail bar that’s hard to spot unless you know it, does great drinks and has a really cosy but buzzy atmosphere.”
Krystina, Lead Digital Designer
“I love cycling around Richmond, and the view of the Thames from the top of Richmond Hill is one of my favourite sights in London.”
Suweyda, PR Manager
“Somerset House, the original London Fashion Week HQ , is definitely worth a visit. Not only is it a gorgeous neo-classical building, but there are a host of great exhibitions and workshops on. I'd recommend seeing 24-7, which is a major exhibition exploring the non-stop nature of modern life.”
Eve, Social Media Coordinator
“For a dinner that’s guaranteed to be delicious, I love Mac & Wild in Fitzrovia. It’s a Scottish restaurant serving traditional fare, and also does one of the best bottomless brunches in London.”
