Somerset House, New Wing, Lancaster Place, London WC2R 1LA

The original Poon's was one of London's classic Chinese restaurants and now Amy Poon has brought it back for a new generation. Set inside Somerset House, the new Poon's celebrates Chinese home cooking and Amy says it's "where you come if you don’t have a nice Chinese friend who will cook for you at home."

57 Whitehall, London SW1A 2BX

Over the years at his south of France restaurant Mirazur chef Mauro Colagreco picked up a clutch of awards from three Michelin stars to topping the World's 50 Best list. Here in London it's taken a little longer to attract Michelin's attention to his restaurant at Raffles London at The OWO. This London restaurant just off Whitehall takes hyper-seasonality as its lodestone, along with close relationships with some of the UK's best producers.

11 Pimlico Rd, London SW1W 8NA

This Belgravia pub is doing things a little differently. Although it may seem like a more traditional pub when you head in the door, the seafood on the bar hints that there's a lot more to this boozer. The food is Basque in style (with an ex Brat chef in the kitchen) and they even have their own caviar. The pub is downstairs while there's a more traditional restaurant upstairs and both are beautifully designed.

The Old Westminster Library, Great Smith St, London SW1P 3BU

Chef and restaurateur Vivek Singh’s fine-dining Indian restaurant has long been a Westminster institution. Housed in a gorgeous Grade II listed building it’s the perfect place for a business lunch or dinner. Game and seafood are a speciality and if things are going particularly well you might want to call the gin trolley over.
