## For A Celebratory Feast 

### Chutney Mary 

  

 

Chutney Mary is marking 35 years in the game – and ten in its St James’s home – with a celebratory Chef’s Gourmand Menu. Back in 1990, the Chelsea original helped redefine Indian fine dining in London. These days, it’s still setting the bar. The multi-course menu (£95pp) brings together standout plates like Mangalorean scallops, tandoori lobster and a rich lamb chop roghan josh. For those going all in, there’s a wine pairing for an extra £50.

*Chutney Mary, 73 St James's Street, St James’s, SW1A 1PH; until end of 2025*

## Try A New Spot 

### Brasserie Constance 

  

 

Adam Byatt is back with a new riverside spot. Overlooking the Thames at Fulham Pier, Brasserie Constance serves up nostalgic British comfort food with a cool twist. The interiors pay homage to the elegance of mid-century hostess Constance Spry, while the menu showcases the best seasonal produce. On offer are elevated plates like smoked haddock croquettes, potted duck with rosehip jelly and slow-cooked clay pot chicken with barley and beer. Save room for the baked Alaska, which is flambéed at your table.

*Brasserie Constance, Fulham Pier, Stevenage Road, Fulham, SW6 6HH*

## Take The Kids 

### Future Of Food 

  

 

Head to the Science Museum to discover the ways in which science is reshaping how we grow, eat and think about food. *Future of Food* is a free exhibition featuring everything from 3,500-year-old bread to lab-grown steaks. You’ll also see the first Quorn burger, cell-grown salmon and meat made at home. Alongside the tech, there are stories from around the world – including seed-sharing in the Amazon and vertical farming in Tokyo.

*Science Museum, Exhibition Road, South Kensington, SW7 2DD*

Speedboat Bar @ The Electric  


 

 

 

 

## Grab The Boys 

### Speedboat Bar @ The Electric 

  

 

Luke Farrell’s back with another hit – this time in Notting Hill. Speedboat Bar at The Electric is a fiery follow-up to his Soho original, channelling Bangkok’s Chinatown with wok-tossed noodles, whisky sodas and punchy street food flavours. Go for the Tom Yam Mama soup, minced beef with holy basil, and whole sea bream. It’s all about the mechanic-chic interiors, a live-fire kitchen and a full-size shuffleboard for post-dinner battles.

*Speedboat Bar At The Electric, 191 Portobello Road, Notting Hill, W11 2ED*

## Support A Good Cause 

### Spring x The Felix Project 

  

 

Until the end of the month, Skye Gyngell’s Spring is joining forces with The Felix Project – London’s leading food redistribution charity – as part of the Restaurants Feed campaign. Diners can book in for the Scratch Menu, a thoughtful offering made with organic ingredients that might otherwise go to waste. Expect elegant, seasonal dishes that champion low-impact cooking – and do some good while you eat.

*Spring, Lancaster Place, Aldwych, WC2R 1LA; until the end of July, Tues-Fri, 5.30pm-6.15pm*

Virtual Beauty  


 

Somerset House

 

 

 

 

## Get A Culture Fix 

### Virtual Beauty 

  

 

Somerset House is exploring how beauty, gender and identity play out in the post-internet age. *Virtual Beauty* brings together work from over 20 artists – including ORLAN, Isamaya Ffrench and Frederik Heyman – with pieces ranging from AI-generated portraits to interactive installations and live-streamed facial surgery. There’s even a virtual shrine to Björk. Whether you’re a tech obsessive or just curious, it’s a fascinating look at digital self-curation in 2025.

*Somerset House, Strand, Covent Garden, WC2R 1LA; 23rd July-28th September*

## *PLUS OUR STAPLES*

 

Here’s where we spotlight some of London’s tried‑and‑tested hangouts. From top‑drawer boozers to cultural icons, these are classic spots worth keeping firmly on your radar this weekend…

 

## Central 

### The National Portrait Gallery 

  

 

This gallery expertly tows the line between classic and modern, and the exhibits are always top-notch. On now, Jenny Saville, Lucian Freud, Cecil Beaton and more.

Visit [NPG.org.uk](https://www.npg.org.uk/)

 

## North 

### Oslo Court 

  

 

A gloriously old-school London institution where time stands still. Tucked beneath a grand Grade II-listed block in St John’s Wood, Oslo Court is a full-blown flashback to the 80s – think silver service, soufflés and serious charm.  
  
Visit [OsloCourtRestaurant.co.uk](https://oslocourtrestaurant.co.uk/)

 

## South 

### Bunhead Bakery 

  

 

After a dip in Brockwell Lido, make your way to the bricks-and-mortar spot from self-taught baker Sara Assad-Manning, just opposite the park. Her Palestinian heritage comes through in every bite – from syrup-soaked knafeh-inspired buns to those packed with punchy za’atar.  
  
Visit [BunheadBakery.com](https://www.bunheadbakery.com/)

 

## East 

### Plates 

  

 

The UK’s first vegan spot to bag a Michelin star, Plates is a Shoreditch gem serving up bold, plant-based plates from Great British Menu winner Kirk Haworth – all matched with low-intervention wines.  
  
Visit [Plates-London.com](https://plates-london.com/)

 

## West 

### Holland Park 

  

 

While the weather holds, head to Holland Park. The grounds alone are worth a visit – think woodlands, sports courts, play areas and even an eco centre – but tucked away inside is the serene Kyoto Garden, a peaceful spot perfect for enjoying a quiet moment away from the crowds.
