Refined in London

“Thanks to Hanane and Jamison, we spent two fantastic off-season weeks in Villefranche-sur-Mer. We fell in love with this small town. Quiet, picturesque, safe, and friendly, with many excellent restaurants, Villefranche is a rare gem on the Cote d'Azur and close to the much larger Nice (we even walked to Nice a few times). And the Dolce Vita apartment - one of the best we've ever stayed in - fully matches the city's beauty. It's spacious, has a comfortable bed, a nice bathroom, and a kitchen with everything you wish. The apartment has a great terrace with stunning views of the city, sea, and mountains. Thank you, Dolce Vita, for the excellent communication and experience. Highly recommended.”

“Bang on with everything. Lal and crew always creating the magic on any skin. From the consultation to the day of being inked, friendly honest and great atmosphere. No wonder why they are super booked up !! I recommend Vassy for her skills, professionalism and honesty in giving advice. The studio is clean fresh spotless made me feel really comfortable.”

“This restaurant was a great find for us tired and hungry after traveling the whole day. All the starters we ordered were full of flavor, the meat mix - tasty, and nice Lebanese wine. The team is friendly and helpful.”

“I had such a lovely evening at Coco Restaurant near Tower Bridge. The location is perfect and the vibe of the restaurant is modern, cosy, and welcoming. The team and management were very friendly, creating a relaxed atmosphere from the start. The food was excellent — full of flavour, beautifully cooked, and served with great attention to detail. Every course was truly enjoyable. A big thank you to Juned, who provided exceptional service throughout our visit. He was polite, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. His warm personality added so much to our experience. I highly recommend Coco Restaurant for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a memorable night in London.”

“As someone with a background in catering and experience working in numerous 5-star restaurants and high-profile chains like Google, I can confidently say the food here was absolutely delicious. It arrived piping hot and bursting with flavour. The service was outstanding 10/10. My waiter, Qayima, was incredibly polite and made the entire experience truly enjoyable. I will definitely be coming back!”

“We had the most fabulous experience. Travelling from Portsmouth back to Essex from a very emotional Funeral we needed a break and found this wonderful Restaurant. We were made to feel so welcome and at home. The service was exceptional as was the food. Thank you to all concerned to making a difficult day a little easier.”

“I recently dined at your restaurant and had an exceptional experience, largely thanks to the outstanding service provided by your waitress, Halina. From the moment I entered, Halina greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel incredibly welcome. Throughout the meal, Halina's attentiveness and professionalism were truly commendable. She went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my dining experience was enjoyable and seamless. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she offered excellent recommendations that perfectly suited my taste preferences. Not only was Halina efficient and attentive, but her genuine kindness and friendly demeanor truly stood out. She took the time to engage in pleasant conversation, making me feel valued as a customer. In addition to Halina's exceptional service, the food at your restaurant was delicious, and the ambiance was inviting. The combination of great food and outstanding service made for a memorable dining experience that I will cherish. I highly commend Halina for her exemplary service and dedication to ensuring that guests have a wonderful dining experience. She is a true asset to your restaurant, and I look forward to returning soon to enjoy her impeccable service once again.”

“I visited today 22/2/25. I had a very pleasant shopping experience with both members of staff being extremely helpful and friendly. The shop is well set out and very clean. I purchased 3 beautiful shirts and I will definitely be shopping here again.”

“Went in to get a suit and after a brief discussion of what I wanted the gentleman went and fetched a suit without measuring me or asking my size. It was nearly a perfect fit, just needed the leg length taking up a little bit. Polite, attentive, and very professional. Wonderful customer service.”

“The best customer experience! Bought my bridal shoes from them and they were kind enough to exchange them half a size up 4 months after my original purchase to ensure my comfort on my wedding day. Super kind and friendly staff. Make sure to head to this specific store if you need to get your Manolo fix for the season! Special shout out to Peter and Niina, thank you for the wonderful service!”

“Bought a pair of Melly "Scotts" Chelsea boots, Fabulous craftsmanship, I usually wear Barker's that are beautifully made and so comfortable, I thought to myself, If the JW boots are nearly as good I'll be impressed........ I'd say they are even better! Will be back for more soon.”

“"A Hidden Greek Gem in Fitzrovia – A Feast for the Senses" We stumbled upon this incredible little Greek restaurant in London, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve had in London. Every dish was bursting with fresh, bold flavors that felt like a trip to the Mediterranean. The highlight of our meal was the unforgettable Cretan Pot salad—a true masterpiece of flavor and presentation. It featured a perfect mix of cherry tomatoes, olives, onions, green onions, orange, potato, artichokes, and basil vinaigrette, all brought together with the luxurious richness of staka butter cream. The kicker? It was served in a real terra cotta pot, looking just like a potted plant—a whimsical and delightful surprise. And the taste? Ridiculously delicious—every bite felt like a celebration of fresh, perfectly balanced ingredients. Their selection of orange and natural wines was equally impressive, perfectly complementing the vibrant, earthy flavors of the food. We left feeling completely satisfied, yet already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a unique dining experience with incredible food and thoughtful presentation, this spot is a must-visit. A 10/10 culinary adventure we can’t recommend enough!”

Short walk to a train station for easy access into central London. Would highly recommend. Oh one last thing, the new Lion Gate Cafe across the street is great for breakfast or lunch.”

The interiors are beautifully designed, blending classic charm with modern sophistication. Every detail from the floral arrangements to the bar cocktails feels thoughtful and refined.

“I started Tango in Italy and have tried out other teachers before but I was not satisfied. Then i moved to London and i had my first tango class at Tango Light then now i am addicted to Tango. The enthusiasm and good energy in the classes is amazing and the classes are well structured and I think the students can progress to join the Milonga after the class. I would just keep going and would recommend it to anyone looking to start Tango!”
