Where To Eat When You're Visiting London

"Dukes, an old-school hotel bar in St James’s, is world-renowned for its ice-cold, sucker-punch martini for good reason—this is Sir Ian Fleming’s former favoured drinking den, after all. Spirits and glasses are stored in the freezer and the martinis—made with five shots of gin—are prepared tableside with a flourish. The carpets, dark blue armchairs, and paintings of nobility on the walls can make it feel a little stuffy here but the smartly dressed staff treat everyone like a distinguished guest." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
