Knightsbridge

You may well have seen the reveal of Jaguar's new electric Type-01 car in the news - it's quite the thing. That's not all they're launching this week, though, as it's coming alongside their brand-new showroom opening in Knightsbridge, just down the road from The Berkeley hotel.

As well as showing off the new car, that showroom is going to be doing something new for Jaguar, as it's the location for their own cafe called Cafe Eighty One. And as part of that, they've brought in a well-known chef, Michael O'Hare. He's best known outside of London for restaurants The Man Behind the

After 18 years, LPM has decided to branch out, opening spin-off Le Café LPM at The Lanesborough in Knightsbridge. We popped in for lunch to see how it compares to the original.

If you're looking for the kind of classic restaurant that rich people love, then look no further than La Petite Maison. Every time we've had lunch at the London one we've had the strong feeling that we're the only people in the room who don't summer on the Riviera in their private yacht. That doesn't stop us loving the place though.

Now, everyone's favourite Côte d’Azur spot is about to embark on its biggest new venture in years. They're doing what we'd describe as a diffusion range but what they're calling a 'new

Eighteen months after he stepped down as Head Pastry Chef at Harrods, Phil Khoury is back in the store with his own chocolates. Khoury, who headed up the Knightsbridge store's pastry endeavours for six years, is popping up over the summer in Harrods' Chocolate Hall. And he's bringing his bestselling chocolates with him.

The chef's solo business began after he was asked to take part in a charity bake sale for Lebanon. The resulting Beirut Bar with an orange blossom caramel and cashew baklava crunch was a huge hit and has sold out multiple times since. In fact, most of Khoury's

Harvey Nichols' Fifth Floor Terrace in Knightsbridge has just reopened for the summer after a bit of a makeover. We took the lift to the store's top floor for a lovely lunch in the sunshine.

Within hospitality circles, it's been something of an open secret for a while, but Heston Blumenthal (in an interview with The Times) has finally confirmed that Dinner by Heston Blumenthal at The Mandarin Oriental is closing. 

The restaurant opened 15 years ago, with Ashley Palmer-Watts as the Head Chef (and who is now, of course, heading up the food at The Devonshire). It was a big success at

Four years after opening their popular sandwich shop in Notting Hill the not-so-secret Secret Sandwich Shop now has a new secret to reveal: it's got a second store.

They've just opened a place inside Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge, giving them a second place to serve up their signature sando-style sarnies. You'll find it on the store's lower ground floor. And while this one will serve up the sandwiches that made their name, like the Egg Salad Sando and The Hungry Dane, it'll also have a rotating monthly special that's exclusive to Harvey Nichols.

What's also new is an

Ready for even more burgers? The latest addition is a burger restaurant from Dubai that's found a home in Knightsbridge. 

GOAT's London outpost is its first outside the UAE, and it's taking over the space that used to be Feya. It's a burger brand that appears to be big in its original location, although the release that we've been given talks about launching the "UAE’s first emoji-based

It might seem like the Dubai chocolate craze has been and gone but Harrods are very much hoping not. The store is banking on the fact that most Londoners will want to try the original chocolate bar that set off the initial craze.

To that end, they've brought FIX, the Dubai chocolatier that sent us all into a frenzy for knafeh and pistachio, to London for a

Change is afoot at Harrods, where they seem to be making efforts to part ways with some (if not all) of their big-name chefs. This month sees the departure of three big names. 

First off is the one that's perhaps the most understandable. Sushi by Masa, which currently takes up the main central space in the Harrods Dining Hall, is finishing up on 9 August. The chef, Masa Takayama, is opening ...

Tom Brown has returned to the dining room where he got his first big break in London. With his name now on the door, we went to Knightsbridge to see what the chef was cooking up. 

They already run a sushi restaurant at the top of the building, now the Knightsbridge cafe CLAP London (we feel we've pretty much exhausted jokes on that name) has taken over the ground floor too. Their newest venture, CLAP KA-FE, is a more casual sort of place where you can either grab some sushi or Japanese pastries to go or eat in.

Knowing how much Londoners love the thrill of a new bakery to try, we got an

Last year, Tom Brown closed his Michelin-starred Cornerstone restaurant in Hackney. At the time, it was said that he was concentrating on Pearly Queen in Shoreditch as efforts to move Cornerstone to central London had fallen to the wayside. But Brown found another way to go central, and it's something of a
