Tom Aikens Restaurant review – Kensington’s best restaurant?
Fine dining in relaxed surroundings or how to begin your week with a ten-course tasting menu There’s no shortage of expensive restaurants in Kensington and Chelsea, which isn’t surprising given the affluent locals.

Suda review – posh Thai at budget prices?
Should Busaba Eathai be worried? Most Thai restaurants in London are far from expensive and well within reach of most budgets, but most are also quite chintzy and cheesy in their decor.

About Thyme review – pub food in restaurant’s clothing
Will I come back here thyme and thyme again? Much to Wicket’s horror I’m not a huge fan of Christmas.
