Tobi Masa – The Chancery Rosewood 

When: Opened October 17^th

Where: The Chancery Rosewood Hotel, W1K 9AN

A Michelin star chef in one of London’s most luxurious hotels is the dream combination behind one of the city’s most exciting new openings: Tobi Masa. ‘Japanese simplicity with global creativity’ is the Masa tagline, and the menu and look, certainly reflect that. A slick wood panel roof, marble counters and a bubbly aura that never gets too overwhelming tied together with a menu of Japanese classics and gourmet sushi.

This is the second Masa of its kind, having first become a sushi sensation 20 years ago in New York. Now Chef Masayoshi Takayama is bringing their Japanese dishes to central London. They have brought along some signature New York classics such as the Peking duck tacos and the Masa Surimi. For lighter options, the mushroom tofu miso soup is a wonderfully smooth dish and a perfect starter. If you want a richer main course, you might want to look through the grill section where you can find cumin lamb chops, wasabi steak and tuna steak ponzu.

While London may have many Japanese restaurants on its high streets, it can be hard to find excellent sushi, perhaps until now. You will have to see for yourself.

RSA House Christmas Market 

The Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce is putting on one of London’s most elegant and fun markets in their historic building.

With musical performances scattered throughout the day and a printmaking workshop run by artist Sean Myers, it’s a lovely day for people of all ages. A link to the event can be found here.

 Humbug – Dive Bar Experience

If you have ever been at a bar and felt like it was nice but lacked indoor snow, street food, confetti cannons, and an immersive Christmas cabaret performance hosted by Santa Claus, then I think I have the perfect festive bar for you. Located underneath Waterloo station, you can have a few drinks and an unforgettable night at Humbug, the Christmas dive bar experience.
