Hutong London in the Shard Cheval Calico House is 5 minutes away from The Shard.  London has one of the most exciting restaurant scenes in the world right now. New restaurants are opening all the time and famous chefs have travelled to the capital to try their luck. London has it all.  This is John Gregory-Smith’s guide to the best high-end asian cuisine restaurants in London. Chinese at Hutong Step out of the lift and up the stairs to the 33rd floor of The Shard and into Hutong , which boasts panoramic views of the city through its floor to ceiling windows. The menu is classic Sichuan with other Northern Chinese dishes – The Peking duck is fantastic and the shredded chicken with Sichuan coriander and pepper dressing is tongue-numbingly good. Indian at Tamarind This subterranean Michelin starred Indian restaurant is one of London’s finest. The interior at Tamarind is chic and simple but the food is sublime. The chaat, a classic street food dish, is ...

The Gilbert Scott is a true British classic. Set in one of the most architecturally dramatic buildings in London, the dining room has an overwhelming sense of grandeur and occasion, yet manages to be elegantly casual at the same time. Although located in the same building as the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel at St Pancras International station, this is not a pit stop, a conduit or the start of a journey: this is a destination in itself. The Gilbert Scott is the second restaurant from celebrated chef Marcus Wareing, but don’t expect Michelin-style finesse and ceremony – this is a British brasserie, with a menu of historic and nostalgic British dishes. The starters include Brown and Forrest smoked salmon with oatmeal soda bread, crispy pig’s head with laverbread mayonnaise, pickled cockles, and sea herbs and venison terrine with Somerset cider chutney. Highlights from the main courses include an intensely flavoured braised oxtail and nutmeg mash, veal schnitzel with fr...

Cheval Hyde Park Gate is in the heart of London. L'Enclume in Cartmel took the top spot for the first time, beating Heston Blumenthal's The Fat Duck in Berkshire into second place. Editors of “The Good Food Guide” gave the restaurant in The Lake District’s Cartmel top honors in the 2014 edition of the restaurant review guide for using fresh, seasonal and organic ingredients plucked straight from its own six-acre farm. Chef Simon Rogan’s farm-to-table restaurant L’Enclume is set in a medieval village in the bucolic English countryside. The guide's consultant editor Elizabeth Carter said "His fantastic way with seasonal ingredients from the Cumbrian land and coast brings dishes that are a joyful celebration of this county's magnificent diversity." Chef Simon Rogan said the title was something he had always dreamed of. Since opening in 2002, the restaurant has earned two Michelin stars. Tasting menus change every day and hinge on the...

All Cheval Residences are in the path of the Nikefuel Map London! London is a beautiful city and with an amazing transport system. Although this two caracteristics are all we look for in a city, sometimes they can get in the way of each other: how can you profit from the outside, if you're inside a tube station? Not to mentioned that it can makes us lazy. Let's be honest, who never got in the tube for a one station ride? Shame on us! That's not very healthy. Thinking about that and how to put more sport into our lives, +Nike  made the NikeFuel Map London. Under the premise that "Life is a sport. Make it count",  Nike have reinvented the London Tube Map to highlight the fitness rewards of walking overground between stations. Download the map here . Nike have assigned each distance its corresponding NikeFuel point score, meaning the relatively short 330m journey from Covent Garden to Leicester Square could either cost you £4.5 in tube fair or ...

Yorkshire Dales National Park Cheval Thorney Court has that classic English deco everybody loves! London is one of the best cities in the world. We have parks, museums, shopping, awesome restaurants, a royal baby... But there's only one thing we don't have: the small village feel. Yeah, that's impossible. For a weekend away, but not too far that you would miss London (it only takes a couple of days for that nostalgic feeling to kick in): the County of Yorkshire. A little under 4 hours from London and the perfect getaway, industry experts named the county of Yorkshire – the largest in England — the best destination on the continent at the World Travel Awards in Antalya, Turkey last week. While it’s been forever immortalized in English literature as a tertiary character in Emily Bronte’s 19th century classic “Wuthering Heights,” today the region has carved out a reputation as being a gastronomic destination with six Michelin-starred restaurants in the co...

Cheval Calico House is a few metro stops from New Oxford Street. You may even have already seen or gone into some pop-up bar (we love pop up things in London) but this is certainly different. For the London Design Festival , a pop-up bar in New Oxford Street, themed as a metro station will serve London's Camden Town Brewery beer, but there will be some other foods and drinks as well, all in designjuction . Obviously, the nerd within us is excited about the prospect of drinking in a bar as a tiled subway station. Camden Town Brewery already has its own bar in Kentish Town and will soon have a microbrewery on site, so if you like the beer brand, you know you will be in good hands. But the pleasure is not just in beer. An Italian coffee directed by the ice cream vendor Gelupo, which recently named as probably the best gelateria in London, will also be on site. Enjoy a gelato with a prosecco or coffee La Marzocco in your corner on designjunction, which will be furnished...
