London's hottest, newest bars (with great A/C) + new Marylebone deal, Test Driving Dante at Claridge's, news & more...

EDITOR'S LETTER

At the risk of sending you over the edge, we're talking about hot bars today - but only in the buzzy sense of the word, rather than actual temperature. In fact, we've been reliably informed that several of our new additions have either banging AC or lovely airy terraces to enjoy a cold drink on.

Another place that has both air con and a terrace is today's Test Drive subject Dante Mayfair. Yes, it's been in residency at Claridge's for a while now, but the new permanent iteration of the restaurant has plenty of new treats to entice you in through the doors.
