NoMad London

Luxury hotel set inside a former magistrates’ court and police station in Covent Garden. Centred around a dramatic glass roofed atrium restaurant that transforms the old courtyard. Interiors lean dark and cinematic, with layered textures, art, and a strong sense of narrative. The building’s past still lingers, giving the experience a slightly mysterious edge beneath the polish.

Mexican Seoul

Founded by Ashley Chipchase as a lockdown pop-up and now permanently settled at Bow Wharf by Victoria Park, Mexican Seoul is a lively, award-winning Korean-Mexican taco bar with the energy of the best house party in East London. The fusion, which originates from California, works brilliantly here, with gochujang-glazed wings, beef bulgogi tacos and elote corn ribs dusted with pecorino and chilli all fighting for the title of best thing on the menu. The wings have won 15 awards at Wing Fest, and one bite in you'll understand why.
