London is one of the world&rsquo;s most iconic cities, but its sheer scale can make seeing the highlights a challenge for visitors short on time.

With 32 boroughs spanning over 600 square miles, it is Europe&rsquo;s largest capital, making efficient sightseeing essential,&nbsp; especially for business travellers, conference visitors, or professionals passing through on a tight schedule.

If you only have one day in London, or even just five hours, you can still experience many of the capital&rsquo;s most recognisable landmarks. This central London walking itinerary connects Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, St Paul&rsquo;s Cathedral, Covent Garden and Big Ben, all within close proximity, minimising travel time while maximising impact.

Total time: ~5 hours 
Walking distance: ~4.5 km 
Route: East &rarr; West along the River Thames

<h2 id="Route+Overview++Why+This+Order+Works" name="Route+Overview++Why+This+Order+Works">Route Overview: Why This Order Works</h2>

Starting at Tower Bridge places you near London&rsquo;s financial district and major corporate accommodation hubs such as Tower Hill and London Bridge. From there, the route moves west along the Thames, linking historic, cultural and political landmarks in a logical walking sequence that avoids unnecessary transport time. For business travellers fitting sightseeing between meetings, this geographic efficiency is key.

<h3 id="1++Walk+Over+Tower+Bridge" name="1++Walk+Over+Tower+Bridge">1. Walk Over Tower Bridge</h3>

<img alt="Tower Bridge walkable guide " src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/uploads/2026/02/19/tower-bridge_AxFBeod.png" />

Tower Bridge is often referred to as London&rsquo;s defining landmark, a feat of Victorian engineering that has been a symbol of the city since the height of the British Empire. This is a great starting point. The bridge deck is a busy byway and free to walk across, offering sweeping views of the River Thames and London skyline, particularly striking in the early morning. However, the tower walkways, which also contain a museum dedicated to the bridge&rsquo;s construction and the original bascule mechanisms, require a ticket.

Below is the full walking route mapped for easy reference.

<ul>
	<li>Advance adult ticket: ~&pound;16</li>
	<li>On-day price: &pound;20+</li>
	<li>Children (5&ndash;15): ~&pound;8</li>
</ul>

Travellers staying near Tower Hill or London Bridge will find this an especially convenient first stop within walking distance of many business hotels and serviced apartments.

Estimated time at attraction: 30 minutes

<img alt="Londo 5 days itinerary" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/uploads/2026/02/19/london-eye.png" />

One of the advantages of starting at Tower Bridge is that the Tower of London sits just a short walk away, allowing visitors to tick off two major landmarks in a single location. Constructed under William the Conqueror in the 11th century, the Tower has served as a royal residence, armoury, and famously, a prison for high-status traitors. It was even used to house spies during the Second World War.

Today it operates as one of London&rsquo;s most fascinating historic attractions, known globally for three things: the Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters), the resident ravens, and the Crown Jewels.

<ul>
	<li>Adult admission: ~&pound;35.80</li>
	<li>Children: ~&pound;18</li>
</ul>

Those short on time should prioritise the Crown Jewels exhibition, allowing around an hour, particularly during peak summer periods.

This can be paired with the Yeoman Warder tour, a 30&ndash;45 minute guided walk rich in storytelling and royal history.

Team suggestion: Stop at one of the Tower caf&eacute;s for a traditional cream tea (~&pound;9 per person).

Estimated time at attraction: 1.5 hours

&nbsp;

<h3 id="3++Visit+St+Paul+s+Cathedral" name="3++Visit+St+Paul+s+Cathedral">3. Visit St Paul&rsquo;s Cathedral</h3>

<img alt="London 5 days itinerary" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/uploads/2026/02/19/3.png" />

Walking west along the north bank of the Thames brings you to St Paul&rsquo;s Cathedral, Sir Christopher Wren&rsquo;s 18th-century masterpiece, built on Ludgate Hill, the highest point in the City of London. The cathedral is one of London&rsquo;s most awe-inspiring architectural landmarks, both externally and internally. Visitors booking in advance can comfortably explore within an hour, including:

<ul>
	<li>Cathedral floor</li>
	<li>Crypt</li>
	<li>Whispering Gallery</li>
	<li>Stone Gallery</li>
	<li>Golden Gallery</li>
</ul>

The dome galleries are particularly recommended, offering panoramic views across London&rsquo;s skyline, a rewarding midpoint in the itinerary.

<ul>
	<li>Adult entry: ~&pound;26</li>
	<li>Children: ~&pound;10</li>
	<li>Last entry: 4 PM</li>
</ul>

As it remains an active place of worship, visitors should be mindful of services and maintain appropriate decorum.

Estimated time at attraction: 1 hour

&nbsp;

<h3 id="4++Lunch+in+Covent+Garden" name="4++Lunch+in+Covent+Garden">4. Lunch in Covent Garden</h3>

Covent Garden is one of the West End&rsquo;s most vibrant districts, known for its lively piazza, street performances, boutique shopping, and proximity to the Royal Opera House. For business travellers, it offers an ideal midpoint lunch stop, balancing atmosphere with efficiency.

Budget-Friendly

	<li>Mother Mash</li>
	<li>British comfort food specialising in gourmet sausages, pies and mashed potatoes.</li>
	<li>Expect lunch around &pound;13 per person.</li>

Covent Garden&rsquo;s central positioning makes it a natural transition point before heading toward Westminster, the final leg of the itinerary. Its best to <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/london/covent-garden/serviced-apartments" target="_blank">stay in the covent garden</a> to explore it better.

Estimated time: 30 mins &ndash; 2 hours

&nbsp;

<h3 id="5++See+Big+Ben+++the+Houses+of+Parliament" name="5++See+Big+Ben+++the+Houses+of+Parliament">5. See Big Ben &amp; the Houses of Parliament</h3>

Few landmarks define London&rsquo;s global identity quite like the Houses of Parliament and Elizabeth Tower, more widely known as Big Ben. While internal tower tours are currently suspended due to renovation works, the surrounding Westminster area still offers immense historic and political significance.

Visitors can:

<ul>
	<li>View parliamentary debates (free public gallery access)</li>
	<li>Explore the exterior Gothic architecture</li>
	<li>Walk across Westminster Bridge for skyline views</li>
	<li>Tours of Parliament are available on select dates or via member invitation, though availability should be checked in advance.</li>

&nbsp;

Billed as one of the world&rsquo;s biggest property and real estate events, MIPIM 2026 is happening in March at the Palais des Festivals, Cannes.&nbsp;

The event is known as the Davos of real estate and brings together the world&rsquo;s leading developers, investors, and city administrators for high-stakes networking, investment opportunities, and shaping urban development strategies.&nbsp;

The MIPIM 2026 dates are from the 9th to the 13th of March this year. The event attracts institutional investors and sovereign funds responsible for multi-trillion-euro portfolios, making it a significant marketplace for cross-border capital allocation.&nbsp;

For professionals involved in real estate investment, development, or urban policy, MIPIM functions as one of the most concentrated deal-making environments in the industry. If you&rsquo;re planning to attend, this guide covers dates, tickets, practical tips, event insights, logistics advice, and other key aspects.&nbsp;

<h2 id="What+Is+MIPIM+Cannes++And+Why+It+Matters" name="What+Is+MIPIM+Cannes++And+Why+It+Matters">What Is MIPIM Cannes &nbsp;And Why It Matters</h2>

MIPIM is critical as it condenses months of investor meetings, capital allocation discussions, and partnership negotiations into four structured days. It is a meeting point where global capital meets major urban development projects, while keeping an eye on industry shifts and sustainability.&nbsp;

For experienced professionals, it represents an opportunity to define the skylines of future global cities, while first-timers benefit from access to major industry players managing an estimated &euro;4 trillion and more in assets. 
Alongside the main exhibition, high-level conferences, private investor dinners, and closed-door summits combine to make it a fulcrum of global real estate partnerships.

</ul>

<h2 id="How+to+Plan+Your+Schedule+Strategically" name="How+to+Plan+Your+Schedule+Strategically">How to Plan Your Schedule Strategically</h2>

MIPIM schedules are known to fill up before you even land in Cannes. So, making strategic and realistic planning is crucial to navigate the event smartly. Waiting until February can hamper your chances of securing high-value meetings.&nbsp;

Over-scheduling is common; realistic gaps between meetings help maintain punctuality. Here is a guide that may help:

<ul>
	<li>Pre-book priority meetings using LinkedIn, personal networks, and the official MIPIM delegate directory. High-profile meetings should be locked in at least 4-6 weeks before the event.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Account for Croisette time, since walking between venues will take longer due to the traffic and crowds. Allow at least 30 minutes between meetings if you&rsquo;re moving to a venue along the Croisette from the Palais.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Be flexible. Avoid packing your calendar between 8 AM and 8 PM. Leave gaps of 30-45 minutes for impromptu or sudden meetings.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Organize your day by location to minimize travel. For instance, try to book back-to-back meetings in the Palais before heading to lunch somewhere else.&nbsp;</li>

While Cannes may be geographically small, it&rsquo;s a pedestrian-heavy city with significant vehicle pressure expected during MIPIM 2026. Here are some tips to get around smartly on your visit:&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Cannes is compact, and walking is often the fastest and best way to get around between the Palais, Croisette, and the train station.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Driving or taking taxis into the city center at peak hours is not recommended. Cars may often be stuck in gridlocks near the Palais.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Note that regular taxis or Ubers may be hard to find during the peak times (morning arrivals, 6-8 PM, lunch, etc.).&nbsp;</li>
	<li>If you&rsquo;re staying outside Cannes (in places like Nice, Antibes, and others), the TER train may help you avoid the A8 traffic congestion.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Parking near the Palais is not available during the course of the event.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Allow additional buffer time between meetings to account for pedestrian congestion.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Book a private chauffeur in advance if you are attending events outside the immediate city center.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Use the Jet&eacute;e Albert-Edouard entrance near the old port rather than the main Croisette one for quicker access to the outdoor pavilions and yachts.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Use the free MIPIM Cannes shuttle service that operates from hotels just outside central Cannes to the Palais des Festivals.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>The My Cannes app or site will help you stay updated on the schedules and free PalmBus transport, if available (simply by flashing your QR code).&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk a lot at the event.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Collect your badge on Monday or Sunday at the Gare Maritime to avoid long queues at the Palais.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="Where+to+Stay+During+MIPIM+Cannes+2026" name="Where+to+Stay+During+MIPIM+Cannes+2026">Where to Stay During MIPIM Cannes 2026</h2>

Choosing accommodation smartly for the aforementioned MIPIM dates is essential. Where one stays in Cannes has a significant impact on daily schedules, with heavy foot traffic and packed schedules to account for.&nbsp;

<ol>
	<li>Around the Palais des Festivals/La Croisette- This area is best for delegates who want door-to-door convenience &mdash; many stands, stages, and evening receptions are within 5&ndash;15 minutes&rsquo; walk.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Vieux Port- The Old Port is just next to the Palais and is coveted for its easy access to the yachts, which are often the best evening networking venues. You get a lively dining scene and quick access to the marinas.</li>
	<li>Rue d&rsquo;Antibes (Central Cannes)- It is the area just behind the Croisette, which includes the famous Rue d&rsquo;Antibes shopping street. It is just a 5-15-minute walk to reach the Palais, with plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants on the way. This area is also more tranquil than the beachfront.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>La Californie- This area is nestled in the hills, looking onto the bay. If you want a quieter and more residential environment after busy event days, it is an ideal option. Though it is a short 10-20 minute drive to the Palais.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>

Every neighborhood is essentially a great choice, but you need to prioritise your personal needs along with the MIPIM Cannes 2026 schedule. For the best experience, try to<a href="https://www.thesqua.re/cannes/serviced-apartments"> stay within proximity to the MIPIM venue</a>.&nbsp;

The F1 2026 season is about to get underway, and if you&rsquo;re an enthusiast, here&rsquo;s your chance to get a piece of the action live! And it&rsquo;s not just about an exciting calendar ahead; this year&rsquo;s Formula 1 season marks the biggest technical revolution in recent years.

This year, the cars racing at the Grand Prix events will be narrower, lighter, and smaller, while being tailored to lower overall drag by 40% and ensuring better overtaking. It&rsquo;s also special since traditional DRS will be swapped for Active Aero, while there are new manufacturers and teams in the fray.&nbsp;

This year&rsquo;s F1 schedule will see Cadillac entering with Ferrari, while Ford will support Red Bull, and Honda will tie up with Aston Martin. Audi will also enter as a works team. There&rsquo;ll also be a 50/50 power split between electric and petrol this season.&nbsp;

The 2026 Formula 1 season starts on 8 March 2026 in Melbourne, Australia. &nbsp;The calendar includes 24 races across five continents. The F1 calendar will begin in Australia, followed by an early China sprint weekend and then Japan.&nbsp;

As you may already know, the early races are vital, with teams adapting swiftly to the new regulations expected to gain a major advantage and more momentum. Of course, it&rsquo;s also a lot about immersive weekends and luxury travel experiences beyond the track that you can enjoy.&nbsp;

Here&rsquo;s everything you need to know about the 2026 F1 season, including the full schedule, ticket options, and where to stay.

&nbsp;

<h2 id="F1+2026+Schedule++Full+Calendar+++Key+Grand+Prix+Dates" name="F1+2026+Schedule++Full+Calendar+++Key+Grand+Prix+Dates">F1 2026 Schedule: Full Calendar &amp; Key Grand Prix Dates</h2>

This year&rsquo;s F1 2026 schedule will be a complete game-changer for enthusiasts, with 24 races spread out through five continents. The beginning is in Melbourne on the 8th of March, which is a week earlier than the regular schedule (to include the new 100% sustainable fuel era).&nbsp;

The calendar is also divided into regional blocks to lower carbon emissions. There&rsquo;s an Asia-Pacific leg (Australia, China, and Japan), followed by the Middle East, North America, and then a European summer (the best season for a refreshing race-themed holiday in the continent). Interestingly, Madrid debuts in September, while Imola has been dropped to free up room.&nbsp;

<img alt="F1 2026 full calendar with dates, venue, and stay options " src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/uploads/2026/02/12/grand-prix-race-2026.png" style="height:1200px; width:522px" />

The F1 2026 calendar also covers six sprint events for China, Canada, Miami, Great Britain, Singapore, and the Netherlands. On that note, here&rsquo;s a guide to some of the fan-favorite destinations that you&rsquo;ll love.&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Monaco Grand Prix- Slated for 7th June, it will take place on a twisty track with zero room for mistakes. Of course, you&rsquo;ll love Monaco&rsquo;s glamor, yachts, celebrities, and the glimmering Mediterranean as well.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>British Grand Prix- The race date is 5th July, with the track offering high-speed sweeps. You&rsquo;ll love being at the home of motorsport with its festive energy and passionate fans.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thesqua.re/milton-keynes/serviced-apartments">Staying near Silverstone Circuit </a>also comes with its heritage perks.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Singapore Grand Prix- Scheduled for 11th October, it is a fascinating street circuit with 23 corners. Gear up to enjoy F1 Grand Prix 2026 night racing under floodlights, while savoring Singapore&rsquo;s delicious food, pulsating nightlife, and top-class attractions.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Abu Dhabi Grand Prix- You can enjoy a twilight race at the Yas Marina on 6th December. It is the season finale celebration as well, with fabulous concerts for you to attend. Check out the Ferrari World next door, along with other mega Abu Dhabi landmarks.&nbsp;</li>

<img alt="f1 tickets" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/uploads/2026/02/12/2.png" style="height:498px; width:748px" />

Now that you&rsquo;ve got an idea of the F1 2026 season unfolding, it&rsquo;s time to learn more about the tickets. You can book the following tickets:&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>GA (General Admission) - These tickets give you more freedom to explore and are ideal if you want more vantage points. The most affordable option and ideal for fans who don&rsquo;t mind arriving early to secure the best vantage points</li>
	<li>Grandstands &ndash; These F1 race tickets offer dedicated stands and reserved seating for better views. You&rsquo;ll be able to glimpse the pit exit or corners better.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>VIP Hospitality &ndash; Enjoy exclusive experiences with gourmet dining, climate-controlled lounges, and private grandstands.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Get your F1 tickets through the Formula 1 official website, official circuit websites like Suzuka, Yas Marina, and other authorized ticket partners listed by Formula 1. Remember, Most GA and grandstand tickets are non-refundable. You can also choose from premium experiences like the Formula One Paddock Club, which is just above the team garage and comes with exclusive F&amp;B offerings, privileged access to team drivers and personnel, and daily pit lane walks.&nbsp;

Some trackside lounges and suites offer lovely views and other exclusive events that include photo opportunities with the World Championship trophies, access to private after-race parties, and guided track tours.&nbsp;

Consider booking your F1 tickets early since popular races like Silverstone, Miami, and Monaco sell out quickly within hours. Most Formula 1 races release tickets 6&ndash;9 months before race weekend. If you miss your chance, you can also watch F1 live with F1 TV.&nbsp;

<h2 id="Where+to+Stay+During+the+Formula+1+Season" name="Where+to+Stay+During+the+Formula+1+Season">Where to Stay During the Formula 1 Season</h2>

Now comes the question, where to stay during the Formula 1 2026 season. Choosing the right accommodation and place to stay can make or break your Formula 1 trip. \

<ul>
	<li>Street circuits (Singapore, Melbourne, Monaco): Choose central city or near metro lines to stay for easy access to grandstands, fan zones, and nightlife.</li>
	<li>Remote circuits (Suzuka, Red Bull Ring, Austin): Book a stay near major transport hubs like shuttles and train stations in nearby towns (example- the Austin airport or Red Bull Ring).</li>
	<li>Destination races (Abu Dhabi, Miami): Choose to stay near entertainment districts or waterfront areas to combine race attendance with sightseeing and dining.</li>
	<li>European summer races: When you go to Barcelona, Budapest, and Monza to watch F1 live, you experience peak tourist demand alongside race crowds, so booking early is essential.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Many seasoned F1 travelers opt for<a href="https://www.thesqua.re/"> stays near the tracks and circuits</a>, cutting their travel time and increasing their fun.&nbsp;

<h3 id="Beyond+the+Track+++Lifestyle++Dining+++Entertainment" name="Beyond+the+Track+++Lifestyle++Dining+++Entertainment">Beyond the Track &ndash; Lifestyle, Dining &amp; Entertainment</h3>

It&rsquo;s not just about attending your favorite F1 Grand Prix; a large part of the experience is about enjoying the finest dining, lifestyle, and entertainment attractions on your trip.&nbsp;

If you&rsquo;re in Monaco, for instance, you can enjoy unmatched glamor and celebrity sightings, experiencing the Riviera through private yacht hospitality and poolside parties. There&rsquo;s also special access to the famous nightlife in the Principality.&nbsp;

Singapore, on the other hand, gives you a night festival-like experience with Michelin-starred pop-ups, vibrant after-race concerts, and rooftop skyline dining at Marina Bay Sands.&nbsp;

Abu Dhabi takes it several notches beyond its Grand Prix 2026 aura, with luxurious hospitality, sunset dune safaris, top-class entertainment, and luxury beach clubs along Yas Island. The F1 finale is slated to be the grandest, and <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/blog/best-things-do-abu-dhabi-night">amplifying your&nbsp;Abu Dhabi itinerary</a> to match its vibe is the only way to do it right.&nbsp;

If you&rsquo;re popping over to Silverstone (London), enjoy the right mix of British culture and fine dining along with historic landmarks, premium shopping in Mayfair, and attending exclusive parties. Celeb-studded Paddock Club gatherings, after-race parties, concerts, fine dining, and exclusive cultural tours- your F1 2026 trail is about to get more enjoyable!

Now that you&rsquo;ve got an idea of the F1 season, it&rsquo;s important to keep a few tips in mind for a smoother experience ahead.&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Make sure you book your race tickets and accommodation immediately once the calendar is released and at least in the early part of 2026. This will help you avoid the last-minute rush of travelers. Buying early also helps you bypass inflated ticket and apartment rates.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>The 2026 season covers five continents; check the entry requirements early on to apply for visas and avoid any travel delays.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Book your flights 5-6 months in advance of your chosen Grand Prix for better flight times and rates.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Allocate funds for premium merchandise and food at the track, while using public transportation to avoid surge pricing on ridesharing apps.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Ticket prices vary, with Bahrain ($98 onwards) and Saudi Arabia ($120 onwards) being more affordable than Barcelona ($219 onwards) and other European rounds. China often has the most cost-effective ticket prices.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Check the F1 race timings carefully and plan your schedule accordingly.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Try to book serviced apartments for extended stays to get lower rates and possible discounts. Choose locations near racing tracks or at least transit points to help you get there. Cook meals in kitchens as much as you can to save money on dining out regularly.</li>
</ul>

Where to stay for Paris Fashion Week 2026

<img alt="Paris Fashion Week travel guide" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/uploads/2026/01/27/fashion-show.png" style="height:471px; width:708px" />

&nbsp;

<hr id="hr-toc" name="tableOfContents" />
For a few weeks every year, Paris Fashion Week quietly changes how Paris works.

Flights fill faster. Well-located accommodation becomes harder to secure. Certain neighbourhoods feel noticeably busier, while caf&eacute;s and hotel lobbies turn into informal meeting spaces. For visitors, Paris Fashion Week isn&rsquo;t just about the runway &mdash; it&rsquo;s about movement, timing, and how the city behaves day to day.

This guide focuses on what travellers actually need to know: when Paris Fashion Week takes place, where activity concentrates, and what realistically changes in the city during this period.

<h2 id="What+Is+Paris+Fashion+Week+" name="What+Is+Paris+Fashion+Week+">What Is Paris Fashion Week?</h2>

Paris Fashion Week is a series of industry-led fashion events held several times a year, where designers present upcoming collections to buyers, editors, stylists, media, and private clients.

It includes:

<ul>
	<li>Haute Couture</li>
	<li>Menswear</li>
	<li>Womenswear (Ready-to-Wear)</li>
</ul>

Each season brings a different mix of visitors, but all of them create predictable pressure on travel, accommodation, and daily movement across Paris.

<h2 id="Paris+Fashion+Week+2026++Key+Dates+You+Should+Know" name="Paris+Fashion+Week+2026++Key+Dates+You+Should+Know">Paris Fashion Week 2026: Key Dates You Should Know</h2>

<img alt="Ramp walk for Paris fashion week" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/uploads/2026/01/27/ramp-walk.png" style="height:471px; width:708px" />

Paris Fashion Week doesn&rsquo;t happen once a year. It unfolds across multiple seasons, each creating short but intense peak periods.

Confirmed &amp; Expected Dates

<h3 id="1++Haute+Couture++Spring+Summer+2026+" name="1++Haute+Couture++Spring+Summer+2026+">1. Haute Couture (Spring/Summer 2026)</h3>

📅 26&ndash;29 January 2026

This is the most exclusive phase of Paris Fashion Week, attended by couture clients, editors, and high-profile guests. If your plans revolve around couture shows, fittings, or private presentations, this detailed <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/blog/guide-to-paris-fashion-week-haute-couture" target="_blank">Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture guide</a> explains how this season differs from ready-to-wear weeks.

<h3 id="2++Women+s+Wear+Ready-to-Wear++Autumn+Winter+2026+27+" name="2++Women+s+Wear+Ready-to-Wear++Autumn+Winter+2026+27+">2. Women&#39;s Wear Ready-to-Wear (Autumn/Winter 2026/27)</h3>

📅 2&ndash;10 February 2026

This is the busiest phase of Paris Fashion Week and the final stop of the global &ldquo;Big Four&rdquo; fashion weeks.

Local insight: 
Many visitors arrive two to three days before the first show and stay after the official end for showroom visits, fittings, and private meetings. Planning accommodation only around show dates is one of the most common sources of last-minute stress.

<h2 id="Where+Paris+Fashion+Week+Actually+Takes+Place" name="Where+Paris+Fashion+Week+Actually+Takes+Place">Where Paris Fashion Week Actually Takes Place</h2>

<img alt="Around Paris Fashion Week" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/uploads/2026/01/27/4.png" style="height:471px; width:708px" />

Paris Fashion Week does not have a single venue.

Shows and presentations are hosted across:

<ul>
	<li>Historic palaces and museums</li>
	<li>Temporary structures built for the season</li>
	<li>Brand-owned locations</li>
	<li>Cultural landmarks adapted into runways</li>
</ul>

While venues change every season, activity consistently clusters around a few areas.

<h2 id="Key+Fashion+Week+Neighbourhoods" name="Key+Fashion+Week+Neighbourhoods">Key Fashion Week Neighbourhoods</h2>

<h3 id="1++Le+Marais" name="1++Le+Marais">1. Le Marais</h3>

A hub for showrooms, galleries, and emerging designers. Many visitors choose <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/paris/marais/serviced-apartments" target="_blank">serviced apartments in Le Marais</a>&nbsp;to stay close to independent presentations while remaining well connected.

<h3 id="2+Saint-Germain-des-Pr+s" name="2+Saint-Germain-des-Pr+s">2.Saint-Germain-des-Pr&eacute;s</h3>

Favoured by editors and buyers, this area becomes especially active during Fashion Week. Staying in <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/paris/saint-germain/serviced-apartments" target="_blank">serviced apartments in Saint-Germain</a>&nbsp;offers walkability, caf&eacute; culture, and easy access to meetings.

<h3 id="3++8th+Arrondissement+++Avenue+Montaigne" name="3++8th+Arrondissement+++Avenue+Montaigne">3. 8th Arrondissement / Avenue Montaigne</h3>

Home to many luxury fashion houses and brand-hosted events. Some guests prefer <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/paris/champs-elysee/serviced-apartments" target="_blank">serviced apartments near the Champs-&Eacute;lys&eacute;es</a>&nbsp;for proximity to this side of the fashion calendar.

<h3 id="Grand+Palais" name="Grand+Palais">Grand Palais</h3>

One of the most recognisable Fashion Week venues, particularly for major fashion houses.

Local insight: 
Because venues move every season, connectivity matters more than staying next to one show location.

<h2 id="What+Paris+Is+Like+During+Fashion+Week" name="What+Paris+Is+Like+During+Fashion+Week">What Paris Is Like During Fashion Week</h2>

Paris doesn&rsquo;t become chaotic, but it does become more intense and more scheduled.

During Fashion Week:

<ul>
	<li>International arrivals rise sharply</li>
	<li>Well-located accommodation fills quickly</li>
	<li>Ride-hailing and taxis peak before and after shows</li>
	<li>Caf&eacute;s, hotel bars, and lobbies double as meeting spaces</li>
	<li>Days start early and stretch late</li>
</ul>

Early mornings are noticeably calmer, especially before 9am. Late afternoons are when movement spikes &mdash; particularly around show start times. Evenings tend to be more social than spectacular.

Locals often avoid the most obvious Fashion Week hotspots at night and meet slightly away from show venues, where conversations are easier and the pace slows down.

<h2 id="Common+Mistakes+Visitors+Make+During+Paris+Fashion+Week" name="Common+Mistakes+Visitors+Make+During+Paris+Fashion+Week">Common Mistakes Visitors Make During Paris Fashion Week</h2>

Many first-time visitors plan their stay around a single show location. That usually doesn&rsquo;t work.

Venues change every season, schedules shift daily, and most people move across multiple neighbourhoods in one day. Staying &ldquo;next to one venue&rdquo; often means spending more time in traffic than expected.

Another common mistake is over-scheduling. Fashion Week days tend to run longer than planned, and trying to fit too much in often leads to fatigue rather than enjoyment.

<h2 id="Where+to+Stay+During+Paris+Fashion+Week" name="Where+to+Stay+During+Paris+Fashion+Week">Where to Stay During Paris Fashion Week</h2>

Fashion Week accommodation is less about labels and more about function, privacy, and flexibility.

Travellers during this period usually prioritise:

<ul>
	<li>Central but discreet locations</li>
	<li>Space to prepare, host meetings, or reset between long days</li>
	<li>Flexibility for schedules that change at short notice</li>
</ul>

This is why many visitors prefer serviced apartments in Paris&nbsp;over traditional hotels, especially for longer stays or team travel.

Many high-profile guests don&rsquo;t choose private residences for indulgence. They choose them for silence, privacy, and control over their time. That&rsquo;s why designers, executives, and celebrities often opt for 
private luxury residences&nbsp;during Fashion Week &mdash; offering discretion without visibility.

It&rsquo;s also common to see people change shoes between shows. Practicality tends to win quickly.

<h2 id="If+You+re+Visiting+Paris+Fashion+Week+for+the+First+Time" name="If+You+re+Visiting+Paris+Fashion+Week+for+the+First+Time">If You&rsquo;re Visiting Paris Fashion Week for the First Time</h2>

If this is your first Paris Fashion Week, plan fewer things than you think you should.

Shows can start late, meetings overrun, and moving across Paris takes longer than it looks on a map. Giving yourself breathing room often makes the experience smoother and far more enjoyable.

Choosing where you stay based on transport connections rather than novelty usually makes a bigger difference than most people expect.

<h2 id="Is+Paris+Fashion+Week+Open+to+the+Public+" name="Is+Paris+Fashion+Week+Open+to+the+Public+">Is Paris Fashion Week Open to the Public?</h2>

Most official Paris Fashion Week shows are invitation-only.

However, visitors can still experience Fashion Week by:

<ul>
	<li>Watching live streams from major fashion houses</li>
	<li>Visiting fashion exhibitions, pop-ups, and independent showcases</li>
	<li>Observing street style around show venues and key districts</li>
</ul>

Even without show access, the Fashion Week atmosphere is visible across the city.

<h2 id="What+to+Do+After+the+Shows" name="What+to+Do+After+the+Shows">What to Do After the Shows</h2>

<img alt="Things to do in paris during Fashion week" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/uploads/2026/01/27/what-to-dp-after-show.png" style="height:471px; width:708px" />

Fashion Week doesn&rsquo;t end when the runway lights go down.

Evenings often revolve around:

<ul>
	<li>Brand-hosted dinners</li>
	<li>Quiet wine bars and hotel lounges</li>
	<li>Low-key spots in Saint-Germain and Le Marais</li>
</ul>

You don&rsquo;t need to attend every Fashion Week party. Many of the most useful conversations happen in quieter spaces, once the day has settled.

If you have time outside your Fashion Week schedule, there are plenty of <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/blog/what-to-do-in-paris" target="_blank">things to do in Paris</a>,&nbsp;&nbsp;from museums and neighbourhood walks to dining spots locals return to once the crowds thin out.

<h2 id="Practical+Tips+for+Visiting+Paris+During+Fashion+Week" name="Practical+Tips+for+Visiting+Paris+During+Fashion+Week">Practical Tips for Visiting Paris During Fashion Week</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Book accommodation earlier than usual</li>
	<li>Allow extra travel time between locations</li>
	<li>Choose connectivity over novelty</li>
	<li>Expect limited last-minute availability</li>
	<li>Build flexibility into your plans</li>
	<li>Fashion Week rewards preparation, not spontaneity.</li>
</ul>

Paris Fashion Week is best understood as a period when the city runs at a different rhythm.

It&rsquo;s busier, more international, and more tightly scheduled, but it&rsquo;s also one of the most interesting times to be in Paris if you plan with intention. Understanding when to arrive, how venues are spread across the city, and why location and flexibility matter makes a noticeable difference to the experience.

Visitors who approach Fashion Week as a city-wide moment, rather than a series of shows, tend to move through it more comfortably, with fewer last-minute compromises and more room to enjoy Paris beyond the runways.

Whether you&rsquo;re attending shows, supporting a team, or simply in the city during this period, preparation and perspective go a long way.

If you&rsquo;re planning a stay during Paris Fashion Week and want accommodation that supports long days, flexible schedules, and privacy, thesqua.re offers serviced apartments and private luxury stays across Paris designed for exactly this kind of travel.

Loy Krathong Festival - Explore the the celebration of famous sky lantern festival in Thailand which take place on the 27th to 29th November 2023 at Chiang Mai.

Loy Krathong Lantern Festival in Bangkok 2023

The Loy Krathong Festival in Bangkok as it is called, is a major spectacle in the city of Bangkok, Thailand. It is a distinctly separate celebration from the equally famous Sky Lantern Festival in Thailand that majorly takes place in Chiang Mai. This is akin to the festival of lights in many ways and will take place around 27th and 29th November 2023. The Chiang Mai festival or Yi Peng will coincide with the Loy Krathong. The latter is widely commemorated throughout the country. Both these events are basically regarded as the Thailand festival of lights although there are some inherent differences.&nbsp;



<h2>Celebration of Loy (Loi) Krathong Festival in Bangkok 2023</h2>



The Loy Krathong Festival involves releasing baskets that are traditionally crafted from banana stalks and stacked with incense and candles (Krathong) into a water body. This is a little different from sending floating lanterns into the sky.



<img alt="Loi Krathong Festival in Thailand" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/a4xjAPCA8eAl8v4AUsQ6YGb3TIBNGKuCTU5mBmCu1XYTzcBq9Fa_3chzYVYz8Z78oq0miT7mX-9Rt90atbTiKbLts7hu9AiPdALFJK4tkqz4qazgNoIBbDSU3As" />

Loi Krathong Festival in Thailand



Loy Krathong or Loi Krathong as it is also known, will last for a single night on the full moon of the traditional Thai calendar&rsquo;s 12th month. The biggest celebrations happen in Bangkok and also Sukhothai although Yi Peng festival travellers to Chiang Mai will find celebrations of Loy Krathong in the northern part of the country as well.&nbsp;



This evening, people will gather round rivers, canals and lakes for paying tributes to the Goddess of Water, releasing floating and small candlelit vessels known as Krathong, as mentioned. They believe that this floating vessel will carry away all their troubles, sorrows and indicate a new beginning. If the candle stays lit until you cannot see it any longer, this indicates that you will usher in better luck in the coming year.



The Chao Phraya River is the key hub for celebrating Loy Krathong in Bangkok and there are several boat processions, workshops on making Krathong, cultural events and fireworks shows among other attractions. 27th November (Monday) is the expected date for this Loy Krathong festival as per the traditional Thai calendar.



<h2>2023 Thailand Yi Peng Lantern Festival - Chiang Mai</h2>



The Sky Lantern Festival Thailand will also take place on the 27th to 29th November 2023, at Chiang Mai. The Yi Peng Lantern Festival will be one of the biggest release events for lanterns throughout the world. The festival is also known as Yee Peng and came from the Northern Thailand Lanna culture.



<img alt="Yi Peng Lantern Festival in Thailand" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/kXF-ujj1Z30GgtuYlHcOkD2iNY9wjcpNCeDtmUErDUmsLz4f1-ArzZq6GS2GUuSCtfYozcyamuZjR8TPnnLyFgid4NY8ddYE5-lrlT6JRDETmxKymuzPkizIy6xO" />

Yi Peng Lantern Festival in Thailand



Yi Peng also equates to full moon of Lanna&rsquo;s calendar month and it is a major religious ceremony where numerous kinds of lanterns are decked up in front of every house as a mark of devotion to Lord Buddha. This includes sky lanterns earmarked for the worship of Gods and deities in higher realms.



The sky lanterns make up the key cultural highlight of this occasion. People believe that they will bear away all sorrows and misfortunes while ushering in better luck and a better future above all else. Throughout the festival, candles stay lit throughout Chiang Mai, creating an unforgettable ambiance.&nbsp;



The Three Lights include sky lanterns (Khomloy) which carry bad luck away from residents while paying respects to ancestors who are in Heaven. There is Krathong which is floated for paying respect to the Goddess of Water.



If a couple floats two Krathongs beside each other, then it symbolizes eternal love as per local beliefs. Phang Pratheep indicates candles lit within several clay pots. Thousands of these will be used to adorn Chiang Mai throughout the festival. This will usher more wisdom into one&rsquo;s life while being a source of guidance as well.&nbsp;



The Yi Peng Sky Lantern Festival will have several fire-shows, cultural shows, orchestra performances and northern Thailand-special dance performances. Local hill tribes and villagers in the mountains will come down to perform at Chiang Mai, putting up several mini shows. They include the Akha, Hmong and Karen people among others.



<img alt="Festive Snacks in Thailand" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/4lj4heYpDRFpOtXoAIf7_qPhqiMNnZiSeARrDDTE7nB_b4SC8yYjR5rZr85gdmoDftdu8xuErr4J3M6HzvPtsRTB4niKKvJ2bJyLAm84rltVQnpXd2cWUjVncGeYPw" />

Festive Snacks in Thailand



You can also feast on delicious local snacks, fruits and beverages with most meals cooked on the spot itself! You will love the mass release of lanterns along with the grand stage shows. The countdown will start in spectacular fashion until the lanterns slowly rise into the air. You can freely float your Krathong at public locations. Yet, exclusive events are chargeable and may need to be paid entry fees.



There are several other release events taking place from the 27th to 29th November 2023.&nbsp; Planning a trip to Bangkok to witness this beautiful festival? <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/bangkok/serviced-apartments">Book your serviced apartments in Bangkok</a> without further delay and arrange your travel tickets swiftly as well.

Have you been roaming across the busy streets of London? Then you must have delved deep into the virtues of English cuisine. However, there is something about steak that reeks of enjoyment and a tempting treat for the taste buds.

&nbsp;

A few facts to know about steaks before you make your way for dinner will help. First, you need to know that the taste of your steak depends on its cooking time. Steaks that are easily prepared might end up being hard or excessively chewy.

On that note, here are some of the top steak restaurants in London that you should not miss.

&nbsp;

<h2>1. Hawksmoor&nbsp;</h2>

&nbsp;

Once you make your entry, you will find interiors that are professional enough, but deliver a Christmassy mood. And the food is just as glorious as the fun of Christmas. No matter what kind of steak you order, they are all chalked on the board and served. For the side dishes, you will get the legendary anchovy-packed cream that is laced with a baked potato, commonly known as Jansson&#39;s temptation. You can also get triple-cooked chips and macaroni cheese that blends finely with the taste of the steak.

<h2>2. Temper&nbsp;</h2>

There is no doubt about the fact that Temper is indeed quite tempting. The smokehouse menu at all three branches of Temper is prepared from large prime cut beef.

<h2>7. Sophie&#39;s Steakhouse Soho&nbsp;</h2>

You can see Sophie&#39;s has class from its entryway patio - a plant-loaded veranda with garden furniture - and the core dining room is no less captivating. It is done in sparkling metal rails and Wes Anderson pastels. The open kitchen at the rear of the eatery has a fire pit as its focal point where hunks of meat hang, absorbing wood smoke flavours. Besides the amazing steaks, try the smoked brisket croquettes. Furthermore, the cheesecake is absolutely stellar here!

<h2>9. Steakhaus</h2>

This restaurant is run and owned by meat enthusiast Lilly Bovey, the co-founder of ethical burger brand Ground. It is situated at Camden Market and also the Kerb&#39;s Southbank food market. Lily&#39;s menu is the basic stuff done well: the steak is cooked to perfection and covered with bean stew margarine, chimichurri, garlic spread or even a seared egg, all heaped on top of super-firm chips. In the event that you&#39;re in a hurry, the steak sandwich is your companion. The delicate cuts of bavette are pressed into a brioche bun with caramelized onions and garlic parmesan mayo.

<h2>10. The coal shed&nbsp;</h2>

Although the coal shed is almost a corporate-looking restaurant, you will be able to indulge no less! The chic interior is ideal for a classy date. Other than that, the food you will get to taste here is simply fascinating. The entire spot smells tenderly of wood smoke - a secret trailer for the new fish and steaks being crisped on the barbecues. The wine list here is a treat, with a great choice of 500 ml carafes. Get the delectable flower Australian Riesling and maybe a lot more here.

<h2>11. Gaucho Charlotte Street&nbsp;</h2>

The founding member of the sustainable steak movement of the Gaucho group has opened a brand-new Argentinian-themed restaurant. This is the flagship branch of this franchise, where you can get the best steaks in London. You can also get eco-friendly wines that are served with cuts of beef seasoned with locally grown herbs and vegetables.

<h2>12. The Beefsteaks at Maltby Street Market and KERB</h2>

The excellence of steak is its simple nature; there&#39;s a size, shape and cooking strategy to suit each item that is prepared. This is shown by the banging sandwiches that The Beefsteaks prepares. This place is known for its flavours and their holder steak is cut into strips to uncover a beautiful pink centre. It fills a Vietnamese-style loaf and is supplemented by red-onion jam, watercress, and the sauce that you choose. What&#39;s more, it&#39;s a hard decision: bone-marrow peppercorn, B&eacute;arnaise, chimichurri or horseradish cream.

<h2>13. Goodman Mayfair&nbsp;</h2>

This polished London-based steak restaurant is inspired by Russia. It is a beautiful place to dine on a tenderly prepared steak. You need to know that they curate grass-fed cows to prepare their steaks, and the side dishes comprise chips dipped in mayo and herbs.

<h2>14. Berners Traven</h2>

More will be more at this fun Soho spot. An obvious luxury choice for champagne-fuelled Gatsby-style fun it is! Enjoy the Anglo-Russian menu that normally incorporates a few extravagant steaks.

<h2>16. High Timber</h2>

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	<h2>Flesh and Buns:</h2>
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Perhaps the first name that comes to everyone&rsquo;s mind when talking about Japanese restaurants in London is Flesh and Buns. Best known for the fluffy buns, this restaurant is located right around Holland Park in Kensington. Made by the minds behind Shack Fuyu and Bone Daddies, this makes the perfect brunch spot for anyone who wants to enjoy a nice Japanese meal right after a long stroll in the park.

There are amazing options on the menu for more serious eaters who are looking to enjoy the ambience with a large group for late-night dinner. Covered in Japanese cartoons, all of which are illuminated by neon lights, a table near the back wall or in the elevated booth will be the ideal way to spend some quality time with your friends and family. As is evident from the name, all items on the menu mainly revolve around fluffy GuaBao buns and Japanese meats.

Most customers who have already been here had spoken highly of the quality and flavour of the dishes served, especially the Korean Fried Wings with spicy, sour sauce. Some other honourable mentions include the Crunchy Corn Tempura with citrus dressing and a local favourite, Grilled Broccoli with orange misu and BubuArare. You can also enjoy freshly hand-rolled sushi here if you are a fan of seared tuna with truffle oil.

For all large plates, however, you will have to order buns, which you can fill with your favourite meat from the options present, such as the crispy piglet belly, grain-fed rib-eyed steak or Portobello mushrooms. If you are not one for buns, you can also try the mains of hot stone rice and poke don. This is undoubtedly one of the best London Japanese restaurants you can find.

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	<h2>Sushi Samba:</h2>
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

The elaborate d&eacute;cor, sky-high dining space and top-notch sushi are perhaps one of the main reasons why most Japanese cuisine enthusiasts know about this place. They essentially have two outlets in London, one on the 39th floor of the Heron tower and the other in Convent Garden.

If you are looking to take your significant other out or are planning an extravagant dinner with your friends and family, going to the Heron Tower outlet and enjoying London&#39;s skyline is perhaps the better choice. On the other hand, if you are just looking for a relaxed, convenient dinner, Convent Garden is perfect.

Here you can watch the chef cook charcoal anticucbos, which are basically Peruvian skewers in an open fire, while you enjoy the freshly made sushi rolls along with crafted drinks. You can also indulge in a share plate, for which the wagyu gyozas, soft pork belly skewer with a coat of butterscotch miso and a side of sweet Peruvian corn or the salmon ceviche are the best choices.

If you are here for sushi, you have to try the popular Samba London with fresh salmon, Hamachi and tuna. However, if you are not big on sharing, you can also order large plates of T-bone steak and black cod. For any special occasion, the Japanese Kobe and Wagyu beef ishiyaki are a must. Sushi Samba is perhaps one of the few restaurants that serve Kobe. You will surely love your time here.

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	<h2>KoyaKo:</h2>
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Founded by the famous duo John Devitt and Shuko Oda, KoyaKo is perhaps one of the best London Japanese restaurants you can find on the streets of Broadway market. Although located on a corner of the street, this restaurant is quite easy to spot, mainly because of the long queues almost all the time. While you are waiting in line, you can order rice dishes or udon.

If you are there for a quick udon fix, you can choose to wait at the standing counter. However, if you are three for a meal, you will surely love the ambience they have created with the minimal and laid-back design language. You will get wooden tables with pull-out stools along with bright walls. This same idea is applied to the menu as well, making it concise and quite easy to choose what you want.

The main dilemma arises when it is time to choose a flavour for the udon dish, given the many options they have. They let you customize your udon with extra toppings like soybean, tempura batter, poached egg, wakame seaweed and prawn tempura. If you are there for a quick snack, the marinated and fried chicken kara-age is a must-try, along with the house slaw, which is made with Kohlrabi, seeds and apples.

Nevertheless, if you arrive here during the morning, you can indulge in their famous English breakfast done in Kama-Tama style. This order will include bacon and butter, soy mushrooms, and a raw egg on the side. From the regular menu, however, some top choices are surely the Ko Meaty, which is a slow-braised beef shin with chilli oil broth. Rest assured, with a short list of some of the best Japanese recipes, you will find KoyaKo quite impressive.

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	<h2>Hannah:</h2>
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Located near the County hall, Hannah is mainly famous for its Fish and chips. While it might sound weird to anyone that Fish and Chips are the most popular dish at one of the best London Japanese restaurants, it is surely something you will never find anywhere else. Lunchtime orders mainly include the bento box, which is also a great hit, served with tempura sushi and wagyu.

However, all that aside, the evening omakase menu is what gives the owner and Chef Daisuke Shumoyama a chance to make an impression on his guests. Omakase literally translates to &lsquo;I&rsquo;ll leave it up to you, and Fish and chips are only one of the ways the chef will dazzle you. Look for a seat at the bar where the chef performs his magic and you will not regret it. Previously he worked at a two-star Michelin Mayfair Restaurant and is perhaps one of the very chefs who are trained at making puffer fish.

The seafood preparations of this restaurant are what most people line up for, especially the pillowy pieces of sea bass they serve. The Fish is picked from the Cornish coast, fresh and charcoal grilled until the skin is crispy. The presentation and plating are also things this restaurant perfects. For instance, you will get an assortment of sushi served on a stone surrounded by what looks like a mini-Zen garden.

What makes their Fish and Chips such a classic is how they fry the tempura monkfish enough to make the outer layer crispy and still have tender, juicy insides. This is served with wispy purple potato, vinegar crisps and scattered smoked caviar, all of which lay on a black tree brand. Shimoyana is also a certified sommelier, so you do not have to worry about anything when it comes to sake or wine.

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	<h2>Zuma:</h2>
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

If you are near 5th Raphael Street, you must visit Zuma, known for its stylish food and the perfect place for people with expensive tastes to hang out. This place is best if you are planning to celebrate your anniversary, propose to your significant other or impress your boss.

It&rsquo;s been about 17 years since chef Rainer Becker, the founder, launched this restaurant and ever since then, Zuma is surely one name every list of best London Japanese restaurants will have. It is truly the epitome of Japanese cuisine in London, and the range and quality of cocktails and food you can find here is still unparalleled in this industry. As per the conventional izakaya style, all dishes are brought in predicated successions all throughout the meal.

It starts with crisp squid, hinted with lemon and chilli, after which you will have grilled lamb chops mixed with hatcho miso sauce. The presentation and plating of each dish are so mesmerizing; ordering even the simplest of vegetable recipes looks absolutely breathtaking in Zuma. After all, this is Knightsbridge, so you can expect everything here to be done with a certain sense of precision.

While you might find a number of London&#39;s finest Japanese restaurants serving black cod and miso, once you have had it in Zuma, you will hardly like any of the others. The Fish is fresh and cooked perfectly, cutting up to perfect chinks, and a dip in the pale miso puree that comes with it only accentuates all the right flavours. If you have the budget and want to remember London for the best they have to offer, visiting Zuma is a must.

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	<h2>Abeno:</h2>
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Located in an amusing neighbourhood right opposite the British Museum, Abeno is another place known for its Kansai-style Okonomiyaki savoury pancakes.

This place resembles more comfortable Japanese food than big meals, and people love it for exactly that. These pancake dishes contain spring onions, cabbage, raw egg, dough, and any combination of prawn, squid, chicken or pork you fancy.

The batter will be mixed right in front of you at the table and then poured onto your plate, where it will sizzle for a bit. By the time you are all done with the agedashi tofu they serve, the pancakes will already be ready to serve.

However, this is only after the plate is squirted with a fruity barbecue sauce and vinegar mayo, with scattered bonito flakes on top. These small but tasteful and important additions are what makes Abeno&rsquo;s food rather top-notch and have their guests coming again and again.

With such amazing names on the list, now you can easily find your top pick without having to try out every restaurant. These are 6 of the best London Japanese restaurants you will find, with each being better than the other. All of these restaurants are also easily accessible, but it is preferred if you make reservations before visiting, given the high demand for each.

While there are many other options you can find which are more easily accessible to you; if you are looking for authentic Japanese food, these will surely not disappoint you. Rest assured, they will offer quality service, top-notch food and an experience you will hardly be able to forget.

Find the Best Places to Eat In London

In London, dining out is never boring. The restaurant scene in this city is a diverse tapestry of flavours and cuisines. London&#39;s restaurants are distinct, inventive, and always interesting. They range from the long-standing, family-run neighbourhood Thai eatery to the Michelin-starred grandee. No matter what, you can sit at a counter and watch master chefs at work.

London&rsquo;s restaurant scene is a true pleasure. You get to delve into hot curry with an excellent beer or fresh pasta. You may have a glass of natural wine with your meal. It&#39;s easy to forget about mundane matters and the world outside. So here is a list of the best places to eat in London that you should not miss.

<h2>1. Clove Club</h2>

This Michelin-starred restaurant is in Shoreditch&#39;s elegant and ancient town hall. It excludes too much fuss and frills. Yet the tasting menu is ambitious. You may have Orkney scallops with Clementine and truffles. You may also taste duck consomm&eacute; with your glass of 100-year-old Madeira. Meanwhile, house drinks are inventive and anchored on selected seasonal British ingredients. Despite the constant crowds, this one is worth trying.

<h2>2. Breddo&#39;s Tacos, Clerkenwell &amp; Carnaby</h2>

This is among the best places to eat in London. You might want to wait in line for Borough Market&#39;s Tacos El Pastor. Breddo&#39;s is a less crowded, less expensive, and a great place to enjoy a margarita and a tostada. The &quot;Cocteleria&quot; margarita and taco bar downstairs is at the Soho location. It has a more laid-back atmosphere and serves tacos on paper plates.

<h2>3. Cora Pearl</h2>

The cuisine at Cora Pearl, a bustling, modest restaurant in Covent Garden, is homely. Confit potatoes, often known as domino potatoes, refer to chips. For two, the menu also offers delicacies like leek terrine, salmon stew, pork and onions. There is also a seasonal dessert option.

<h2>4. Padella</h2>

If you want to dine at Borough Market, Padella provides a gastronomic refuge. But don&#39;t expect any peace from the commotion outside. Due to its popular dishes, it is the best place to eat in London. Their famous dishes include pici cacio e Pepe and pappardelle with eight-hour ragu. This no-reservations pasta specialist is from the team behind Highbury&#39;s Trullo. Around six pasta dishes, standout appetisers, and desserts are available on their menu. The key to understanding their efficient cooking is to look over the open counter. Watch the kitchen staff &quot;saucepan&quot; the pasta to luscious oblivion. Then you&#39;ll understand why there are lines.

<h2>5. Chishuru</h2>

There aren&#39;t quite 10 West African restaurants for every quid in London. Unfortunately, both establishments fall short of the quality of Adejok&eacute; &quot;Jok&eacute;&quot; Bakare&#39;s Chishuru. The chef-owner won the Brixton Kitchen competition in 2019. She made her first eatery the following year. The exquisite food of Bakare&#39;s West African ancestry is present in Chishuru. Your taste buds will love dishes like kekefia and mimri Oku. You&#39;ll continue to think about the flavours and textures long after eating.

You may take a tour of the ingredients and spices of Bakare&#39;s home country. Thanks to the set-menu style, her natural talent and charming service will win you over. There is currently no other restaurant in London that compares to Chishuru. So it merits your focus greatly.

<h2>6. London Grind</h2>

Another of the best places to eat in London is the London Grid. With a short menu suitable for dining throughout the day, this modern industrial restaurant lies adjacent to Borough Market (arrive before 12 if you want breakfast). The main courses bridge the brunch-lunch gap with dishes like sweet potato Harissa cakes, flat iron chicken with baby potatoes, a superb burger, or steak with B&eacute;arnaise if you like. Small plates include chorizo and smoked cheese croquettes. The coffee at London Grind is top-notch, as one would expect. You must order the three house drinks centred on coffee here.

<h2>7. Sichuan PoPo</h2>

This delectable Chinese restaurant has two locations in West London. It will make you feel satisfied in an incredible manner. The most incredible Chinese restaurant in London is Sichuan PoPo. With such an extensive menu, you won&#39;t have difficulty choosing the dishes.

This eatery serves Sichuan-style street cuisine, including fresh handmade noodles and dumplings. Each meal is bursting with flavour, and the prices are affordable. Some specialties include fresh flat BiangBiang noodles, stir-fried beef Ho-fun, and juicy pork dumplings. They are popular in Shanghai, along with handmade wontons in chilli oil.

<h2>8. Manteca</h2>

It would help if you looked no further than Manteca to find one of London&#39;s top eateries. This lovely Italian restaurant is famous for its in-house hand-rolled pasta. Even though London is home to several of the top restaurants in the world, this one stands out.

Besides the outstanding a la carte menu, it offers fresh pasta and a fantastic wine selection. Manteca is a beautiful restaurant because of the ambiance and the service. The dining room of this establishment is present on Curtain Road. It features gorgeous d&eacute;cor and is the ideal location for date nights.

<h2>9. Luca</h2>

When it comes to building a reputation, it often seems like restaurants have two options: either become the hippest, trendiest place with the most reservations or choose a more understated, refined sophistication that will keep you coming back for longer. With its airy, expansive dining room, lighting, and terracotta-red and olive-green leather banquettes, Luca, founded by Isaac McHale, Johnny Smith, and Daniel Willis of The Clove Club, manages to combine both somehow. It also has a lively bar area with lovely booths. It is a hip and happening place with great food options for connoisseurs.

<h2>10. The Barbary Next Door</h2>

So long as you end with the Hash Pot, supper at The Barbary Next Door will always be fantastic. The restaurant&#39;s character can be best illustrated by the little pudding, one of the fantastic options on the menu. The Barbary Next Door is a subdued homage to two of the most enduring institutions of the London dining scene, The Barbary and The Palomar. So, this is another one of the best places to eat in London.

<h2>11. Fatt Pundit</h2>

Make reservations at this exclusive Indo-Chinese restaurant in Soho and Covent Garden. Even though London is home to many fantastic restaurants, there is a reason why popular eating establishments fill up fast.

Your senses are sure to take you on a journey at this tapas-style restaurant. The menu has a variety of meals, including several kinds of momos, popcorn cauliflower, sticky sesame veggies, chilly prawns, Manchurian chicken, and more. The cuisine is bursting with strong flavours. You should add this hip eatery to your list of restaurants in central London.

<h2>12. Evelyn&#39;s Table</h2>

This modest eatery in London&#39;s Chinatown is hugely popular. Evelyn&#39;s Table, a tiny restaurant with only 15 seats, is beneath the pub floor of The Blue Posts. Excellent beef tartare served with bread is their highlight. Every day at 3 p.m., they make pasta, and before cooking it, they&#39;ll show you the fish from Looe Market. Start with drinks from the Mulwray two stories up. They offer a special dessert that you shouldn&rsquo;t miss.

<h2>13. Tandoor Chop House</h2>

Tandoor Chop House is a hybrid of a traditional British chop house from the 19th century and a North Indian Dhaba (diner). There are no curries or frills, or the exquisite cuts and high-quality Naans shown in the front window. Skewer after skewer of grilled meat and vegetables and mountains of scorched Naans emerge from the Tandoor ovens. This isn&#39;t shy cooking; there is smoke, and the aroma of spices fills the air. The Punjabi Sour is one of the available cocktails, with four gin and tonic options. Then pile on sizzling Amritsari crispy lamb chops, house Tandoor chicken, and Tandoor cauliflower chaat after a zesty, filling appetiser like the Keema naan (made with Dexter beef). Finish up with a malted Kulfi that has caramelized bananas.

<h2>14. Carousel Fitzrovia</h2>

Despite having the sense of a neighborhood restaurant because of its laid-back atmosphere and cozy yet understated decor, Carousel is more than that. By night, visiting chefs transform the kitchen with new methods and ingredients. The lunch menus are a seasonal parade of pleasures. Small meals and desserts dominate the palate along with snacks. Expect foraged ingredients, like sea herbs and unique combinations such as Spanish tomatoes and Japanese stock in the same dish. The grilled chicken is a stunner. They also make the greatest churros you&#39;ve ever had.

Like any other big city, London has a tonne of expensive and affordable eateries. Reading reviews, checking menus, and searching for prices beforehand may help you make the best choices. It is a smorgasbord of pleasures for true gastronomes. If you&rsquo;re in London, you can taste literally anything!
