Hotel
SUNRISEUnintentionally
continuing the
Japanese theme, we
bring you the newly
opened Akatoki. The
decor is a serene
minimal design; whilst
the restaurant fuses
international flavours.
How very modern.

.Restaurant
SNUGJ Sheekey, with all
its cosy corners, is
the ideal hot spot to
take your hot date
(soz) on Valentine’s.
Located right in the
heart (double soz)
of Covent Garden,
the fish restaurant,
which specialises in
oysters, is the ultimate
aphrodisiac. This year
it falls on a Friday
so there’s no excuse.

FRESH TAKEBringing period
dramas right up to
date may sound like
an oxymoron, but
fashion photographer
Autumn de Wilde
(Prada, Rodarte) is
giving it a go in her
directing debut and
latest adaptation of
Jane Austen’s Emma.
Anya Taylor-Joy is the
matchmaking heroine
and Mia Goth
plays Harriet Smith.

busy one for Lennon
Stella. She recorded
her first solo album
Kissing Other People
and supported
The Chainsmokers
and 5 Seconds of

41-date World War
Joy tour. Showing
no signs of slowing
down as we move
into 2020, this
February she embarks
on a European tour
ending with seven
dates in the UK.
Lennon grew up in
rural Ontario and

guitar aged five.
