If whisky and cigars are your perfect pairing, make The Emory Cigar Merchants your new go-to. Perched on the rooftop of London’s first all-suite hotel – a creation by the late Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour – this refined tenth-floor sanctuary stocks nearly 200 cigars, from classic Cubans like Cohiba and Montecristo to rare pre-Castro finds. Designed by Rémi Tessier, the space is all burl wood elegance and soft halo lighting, with a state-of-the-art Airkel system (one of only three in London) to keep the air crisp and smoke-free.

London’s sandwich scene is having a moment, and Story Cellar is getting in on the action with a limited-edition Signature Chicken Sandwich, available at lunch only. Tom Sellers has taken the restaurant’s famed rotisserie chicken and reimagined it into a seriously indulgent dish – think tender confit chicken thighs, crisp chicken skin, homemade chicken fat mayo, plum chutney and pickled cucumber, all tucked between toasted brioche.
