Over the road from the BBC’s Broadcasting House, Portland scores high in the understated cool stakes. The clean-lined, contemporary dining room has an intimate ambience, its Scandi-style darkwood tables and chairs illuminated by low-slung filament lights, and bright artworks leading the eye to the open kitchen at the back. This faultless modern take on new-Brit cuisine delivers in spades; brimming with innovation and seasonality, a classy lightness of touch, balanced and eye-catching presentation, but, above all, flavour. Take Isle of Mull scallop with a zippy mix of tomato, strawberry and wild fennel to start, then Cornish cod with Devon crab, burnt lemon purée, yuzu compressed apple and chorizo.

About the area

Discover London

The UK's capital was founded by the Romans shortly after they invaded in 43AD. Since then it’s evolved into one of the greatest cities on earth. From a bloody, squalid history to the vanguard of fashion in the Swinging 1960s to the buzzing metropolis it is today, London has something for everyone. There are very British pursuits like the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and an impressive collection of traditional English pubs. And that’s not to mention world-renowned arts venues, galleries and museums, award-winning theatre and unrivalled shopping – all found within a few Tube stops of each other.

London’s royal history is not to be missed. Visitors can roam around one of Britain’s finest medieval castles and royal prison, and learn about the final days of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London or, for the less bloodthirsty, visit the Queen’s London home, Buckingham Palace. Don’t miss out on exploring the capital’s Royal Parks – from St James’ Park and Hyde Park in the centre to the majestic Hampton Court and wilderness of Richmond Park in the southwest.
