"Closing time: Monday - Tuesday - 1am / Wednesday - 2am / Thursday - Saturday - 3am This chic dim sum parlour is one of those rare spots where you can both start your night and finish your night. We’ve been here for a three-hour anniversary dinner over dim sum and we’ve been here for one last cocktail on a weeknight. It’s the kind of broody but sophisticated bar that works fantastically for both, and the Cantonese BBQ pork buns really don’t hurt either. A dimly-lit converted townhouse with three bar areas rolled into one, you enter through a bright blue side door on Gerrard Street and then sneak through a big red velvet curtain to get to our favourite area, the Peony bar. Basically, it’s definitely got that whole ‘secret spot’ thing going on, especially when you rock up at 1am on a Wednesday night. Be warned that the creative cocktails here can add up quick, but they come with a side of billowing smoky drama and their dim sum platters start at £15." - heidi lauth beasley
