Cheval Life

Aqua Shard Cheval Knightsbridge is just a few minutes away from Harrods. The cold winter makes us want cozy and familiar experiences, such as grandma cookies and that old pair of socks we own since the 80's. But the Summer is the opposite! It brings in all of us that feeling of need for new sensations and experiences. Pop-up bars are the perfect oportunity to try new drinks, new neighbourhoods and, why not say, new feelings.  The Rum Shack at The Skylounge If you’re looking for a rooftop bar near Tower Hill, head 12 floors up to the Skylounge at the Hilton Doubletree Hotel. With 2 rooftop terraces with the Gherkin and The Shard within touching distance, this is a great find for the summer months. For the summer of 2013, the south roof terrace has a pop-up Rum Shack with mojitos, daiquiris and sangria available by the jug alongside wines and beer. The Rum Shack has a casual vibe with drinks, food and tables designed for sharing. Aqua Shard One of our f...

Cheval Thorney Court is near One Table Dining Club Going out for dinner is starting to lose its fun? Starting to think all restaurants look the same?

When somebody starts talking about the European cuisine, people think about the french elaborate dishes, the rustic (and delicious) italian pizzas, the spanish paellas or the huge german words with "pork" in the middle. And what about Portugal? Ah Portugal... The forgotten jewel of Europe. Everybody remembers their battles for colonies, their football player... and yet, nobody mentions the amazing portuguese cuisine!  Not exactly in the center of London but still a lot closer than Portugal itself, The Portuguese Conspiracy Supperclub  is a new supper club.  They're hosting their first event on 28th February at L'Atelier Dalston in N16.  Full menu is shown here ; it's £40 for 5 courses with a selection of Portuguese wines. The event in the host words: "The shared love for good food and wine has brought us together to conspire with a clear and precise intent: to contaminate London with the richness of an amazing and vibrant Portuguese contemporary...

In Harvey Nichols' fifth floor bar, a touch of the Alpes was brought to Knightsbridge. With all the style of a fancy ski resort with a log cabin feel and vodka cocktails, the Elit Freeze brings you the après ski without having to climb a mountain. Instead, it's luxury all the way with snug blanckets, faux sheepskin rugs and fane deer head trophies. Elit, the sponsor of the event, is part of the Stolichnaya vodka brand, who are launching two new flavours at the pop-up. Stoli Hot and Stoli Sticki will be available to try, as well as vodka ice pops, and a whole range of exciting cocktails, such as the Stoli Jalabarbinger - a mix of Stoli hot, rhubarb and ginger. Tapas dishes are also available specifically designed to match the cocktails and include the likes of hot tiger prawns, lamb kafta and jalapeno poppers. The bar will be open until New Year's Eve. Booking is advised. For more info go here .  Recommended by Cheval Residences - Luxury Serviced Apartment...
