Circus Club, London

Circus
Designed by Tom Dixon, Circus is currently one of London’s hottest venues, mixing bar, restaurant, and cabaret entertainment. As expected, it’s a glamorous and sophisticated space, serving refined Pan-American cuisine and innovative cocktails.

Cocomaya
One of the city’s favorite chocolate shops recently opened at a new site in Marylebone. It’s also a bakery and tearoom, offering its own bread and signature chocolates in a welcoming and very British environment.

Goyard
London has just received a slice of Paris luxury with the opening of Goyard. The luxury goods store on Mount Street in Mayfair has a late 19th century interior inspired by the original Paris store.

HixSoho
Mark Hix has shown his signature British cuisine at London hotspots like The Ivy and Le Caprice and opened this restaurant last October. It has since received critical acclaim, offering a clubby atmosphere and displaying specially commissioned art by British artists. The basement bar serves small dishes and cocktails.

HomeHouse Club
The Home House private members club has a new wing next to the original 18th century townhouse with a lavish interior and bar created by Zaha Hadid. The “House Bar” features sweeping lines and metallic bronze finishes under what is described as “space age lights” where you’ll be served fine cocktails and champagne.

Le Labo
Marylebone Village was the chosen site for the fourth boutique of the New York perfume house. Offering made-to-order fragrances in bottles inscribed with the buyer’s or recipient’s name, you can discover why the brand has become so popular among those with a good nose for quality perfumes.

Murdock
Sophisticated gentlemen have a new luxury grooming address in Mayfair. The new Murdock barbershop blends the classic and traditional with the demands of modern men, including the use of the finest products.

Pizza East
One of the most popular openings of the last few months was Pizza East in Shoreditch. It’s become a people-watching hotspot, although it’s laid-back and even offers take out and delivery service. The menu lists gourmet pizzas made with seasonal ingredients, while the dining area shows an industrial design with concrete walls and exposed pipes and pillars.

Proud Cabaret
London’s new nightlife seems to be a cabaret. Not only is there the new Circus mentioned above, but also the new Proud Cabaret. This restaurant serves classic British cuisine together with sultry entertainment in the form of burlesque dancing, singing, and jazz.

VA Museum
The Victoria & Albert Museum’s east wing has been redesigned and the Medieval and Renaissance Galleries have recently opened. That’s 10 new galleries displaying over 2000 treasures spanning 13 centuries, from paintings to tapestries and sculpture. Best of all is that admission is free.
