Ticket lost in the post? Get in on the fashion week action with five of the hottest places to go this season
Words Joy Montgomery
PENNETHORNE’S, SOMERSET HOUSE
The fashion pack may have vacated Somerset House, but with such close proximity to London Fashion Week’s new Strand location, you can guarantee that show-goers and models alike will be settling down in this chic bar and cafe. Offering everything from British bubbles brand Nyetimber to fresh juices, cocktails and an array of small plates, this is the perfect place for afternoon coffee and people watching.
W HOTEL
The W Hotel’s ‘Finishing Touches’ event is back for another year, running a plethora of events over London Fashion Week. Providing fashionistas with the fuel to look good and feel good, services include skincare consultations from AWAY Spa, luxury skincare brand Natura Bissé, blow-dries by DryBy London, nail bar from WAH Nails, workouts by Gymbox, fashion patch customisation with The Makery, and much more.
THE MAYFAIR HOTEL
It’s the official hotel for London Fashion Week, so where better to set up shop for fashion weekend? Moments away from London’s fashion hotspots, the hotel is a hub for the international fashion community, with its legendary bar and newly refurbished May Fair Kitchen. Exclusive fashion week deals include 10% off best available room rates for superior or deluxe rooms and complimentary room upgrades.
CHILTERN FIREHOUSE
This ex-firehouse turned designer hotel and ‘it’ restaurant is a guaranteed hotspot for celeb spotting – drawing in the fashion crowd and Hollywood a-listers alike. If you can’t bag a table then take a seat at the restaurant’s bar, order a cocktail and enjoy the stylish interiors and buzzing atmosphere.
SEXY FISH
Richard Caring’s new curiously named restaurant and bar was 2016’s answer to the Chiltern, with its decadent interiors (Damien Hirst was commissioned to create a pair of bronze mermaids – natch) and high profile clientele. Sample the Asian fare, soak up the glamour, and prepare to party with the FROWers.
