July's hottest restaurants, trying Coqodaq in London, a Soho lunch deal & why Adare Manor in Ireland should be your next trip

EDITOR'S LETTER

I read that last Saturday there were more than 300,000 people attending concerts in London. And sometimes it feels like there are a similar number trying to get hold of tables on any given day at the hottest restaurants in town. London is busy right now and if you want to know where the city's must-book tables are we have the July edition of our Hot Right Now list to show you.

If, on the other hand, you're looking to get out of London as the temperature starts to rise again, can we point you in the direction of our latest travel feature on the marvellous Adare Manor in Ireland?
