London Fashion Week is back. Here’s where to eat, drink and party between shows, from Mayfair power spots to fashion-forward restaurants and late-night destinations.
London Fashion Week is as much about where you’re eating and drinking as it is about what’s happening on the runway. From 17th–21st September, the capital’s restaurants, bars and hotels will be welcoming fashion insiders, designers, celebrities and London’s style crowd.
Whether you’re looking for somewhere to refuel between shows, a stylish spot for dinner or somewhere to continue the night after the final runway, these are some of the best places to eat and drink during London Fashion Week 2026.
1. For The Coolest Crowd: BUND Mayfair
What: Perched on the 28th floor of the iconic Shanghai Me, BUND has quickly become one of Mayfair’s destinations for fashion, celebrity and late-night events. With panoramic views across London and a high-energy atmosphere, it’s an ideal place to head once the shows are over. Last London Fashion Week, David Koma chose BUND for its after-party, while Manolo Blahnik has also hosted events at the venue. Expect cocktails, music and a crowd drawn from London’s fashion, music and entertainment scenes, making BUND a natural choice for post-runway drinks and late-night celebrations.
Where: BUND, 28th Floor, London Hilton on Park Lane, 22 Park Lane, W1K 1BE
When: 17th–21st September
2. For The Fashionable London Vibe: Aqua Kyoto & Aqua Nueva
What: Located just moments from Regent Street, Aqua Kyoto and Aqua Nueva are two established destinations for fashion insiders and stylish Londoners during Fashion Week. Aqua Kyoto offers elevated Japanese dining, with beautifully presented sushi, distinctive flavour combinations and a rooftop terrace overlooking Regent Street. Next door, Aqua Nueva brings a livelier energy, with cocktails, music and a spectacular terrace that makes it particularly suited to pre- and post-show drinks. Whether you’re looking for sushi between shows or somewhere to carry the evening on, both restaurants put you firmly in the centre of the Fashion Week action.
Where: Aqua Kyoto & Aqua Nueva, 5th Floor, 240 Regent Street, London W1F 7TT
3. For A Fashion Week Fuel-Up: Mazarine
What: For those spending Fashion Week rushing between shows, shoots and appointments, Mazarine is putting protein at the centre of its LFW offering. The Hanover Square restaurant will serve a dedicated three-course high-protein menu for £45 per person, available at lunch and dinner from 17th–21st September. Created by Executive Chef Thierry Laborde, the menu includes dishes such as Bonito with celeriac and tonnato, Tuna Steak with Peppercorn Sauce and Mediterranean Rigatoni, followed by either La Russe or Profiteroles. Recently recognised as a new addition to the Michelin Guide, Mazarine offers a refined Mayfair setting for a proper sit-down meal between shows or dinner once the day’s schedule is finished.

When: 17th–21st September
4. For A Taste Of New York: Raf’s at Saison
What: One of New York’s most talked-about dining destinations is coming to London for two nights only, as Raf’s takes over Saison by Mauro Colagreco at Raffles London at The OWO. Taking place on 18th and 19th September, the collaboration brings together Raf’s Chef Mary Attea and Saison’s Mauro Colagreco for a menu combining Parisian café culture, Italian influences and contemporary New York energy. Expect dishes including Raf’s Steak Tartare with aged Parmigiano Reggiano and Anchovy Tostadas, alongside Saison’s Cured Wild Trout with Dill Sauce, before mains including Dorade, Pork Chop, Skate Meunière, Chicken Cordon Bleu and Lobster Bolognese. With Raf’s already closely associated with New York’s fashion and creative crowd, this limited London residency is particularly well suited to Fashion Week.
