Where to Wine and Dine before the After Parties

Hoi Polloi at the Ace Hotel Shoreditch
Ace Hotel, 100 Shoreditch High St
As New Yorkers should already know, everything that is Ace Hotel is a mecca for hipster breeding, and that same vibe definitely transfers to the London location as well. Grab drinks in the basement at Miranda before/after dinner and enjoy a variety of dishes at Hoi Polloi to refuel for after parties in nearby Shoreditch.

Dishoom
12 Upper St Martin’s Ln (+ more locations)
Go to Dishoom for their modern take on the foods of Irani cafes of Bombay at Dishoom and stay for the good prices and unique cocktails (spiked lassi’s anyone?)

The Ledbury
127 Ledbury Rd
Ranked as one of the world’s top restaurants, the Ledbury offers a modern ambiance and innovative French cuisine on behalf of Chef Brett Graham.

Dinner by Heston Blumenthal
66 Knightsbridge
Located in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal is your go-to if looking for an elegant evening surrounded by mouthwatering British bites. It scored a Michelin Star rating within a year of opening, if that means anything to you.

Sketch             
9 Conduit St.
Can’t go to London without getting a cute bathroom selfie at Sketch, a multi faceted restaurant/cafe/bar with one of the world’s most infamous bathrooms--stalls that resemble egg pods. The plush pink seat cushions throughout the rest of the restaurant are also perfectly chic to accompany your fashion week ootd.

A Wong
70 Wilton Rd.
Head to A Wong for some damn good Chinese food, everything from dim sum to Peking duck to egg fried rice *drool*. I’ll be damned if greasy Chinese food wasn’t the fuel that sustains Fashion Weeks across the globe.
