ALAIN DUCASSE AT THE DORCHESTER

The rarefied atmosphere at the multi-Michelin starred chef's stark restaurant gives fashion folks a chance to glam up. Kate Moss and Topshop’s Philip Green dine at the hotel's China Tang or throw private parties in the Penthouse or Krug Room overlooking the kitchen.

THE WOLSELEY

A Piccadilly patisserie modelled on the old-world charm of a Viennese cafe that serves comfort food classics and is often most relaxed at brunch and teatime.

CLARIDGE'S

Close to the Bond Street boutiques, this offical LFW venue hosted the Paul Smith show on Monday and is sought out for its posh teas, impressive champagne menu and inspired cocktails and canapes combos.
