Located in the heart of London's theatre district, Radisson Edwardian Kenilworth Hotel is a good base to explore nearby attractions that include Oxford Street and the British Museum. The bedrooms live up to its 4-star billing with beautiful African walnut furniture, sleek bathrooms with Sicilian Carrara marble, and the abundant use of silks and exotic fabrics to create a magnificent interior.

The luxury quotient continues through to the Creation Restaurant, which represents a mini-theatre of sorts with just a glass divide between the kitchen and the dining area. The menu filled with satisfying modern British dishes opens with starters of poached egg and baby spinach on toasted muffin with hollandaise sauce, and baked salt marsh loin of lamb wrapped in puff pastry, and pan-seared Welsh sea bass are lined up for a main course. A succulent 28 day aged rib eye steak from Dillon's farm in Ireland initiates diners into the pleasures of grilled meat, while the delicious baked thin apple tart and toffee sauce is worth the 20 minute wait. 

Whits Restaurant and Bar provides modern French and British cooking in a light, airy setting just off High Street Kensington. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly where diners could sit back and enjoy a meal or a drink at the bar. It also benefits from its unique location close to major attractions like the Odeon Cinema, Royal Albert Hall, Holland Park and Kensington Palace.

As a prelude to a hearty meal, expect to find a wide array of starters such as fondant of salmon and red peppers with anchovy and shallot salad, or petit steak tartare with allumette potatoes. This could be followed by crisp confit and roast breast of duck with braised red cabbage, dauphine potatoes and honey cumin jus, or roast tuna with piquillo peppers, chorizo and haricot beans and brandade fritter. The dessert list has a distinct Mediterranean feel with a cappuccino crème brûlée and tiramisu and praline ice cream, and hot banana soufflé with mango sorbet.

Whits does not neglect the time honoured English custom of celebrating Sunday lunch, and they also offer a daily changing, prix fixe menu in the evening.

Smollensky's, the chain of lively grill restaurants and bars, offers diners a chance to enjoy modern American cuisine with world influences. Smollensky's Canary Wharf is one of the most impressive of their restaurants, set within a really light and airy space and flaunting a highly contemporary look.

The modern American menu has long-time favourites like spicy BBQ spare ribs for starters and mains that include burgers, cajun jambalaya, Boston fishcakes or an array of steaks prepared in-house from fresh, prime beef, sourced from welfare assured producers. Families can enjoy the hugely popular "Family Affair" weekend lunches. There is live music played every night, with DJ's and dancing during weekends. Sunday evenings welcome jazz, soul and Latin bands with guest appearances in conjunction with Jazz FM every week.

The wine list recommends fruity wines to go with fish or chicken, white wine with lighter dishes and big spicy reds for chargrilled steak. The menu also offers champagne, liqueurs and a host of cocktails for every mood.

Decadent desserts like irresistible chocolate mud pies and Grandma Smollensky's peanut butter cheesecake complete the appeal.

Designed by the famous Martin Brudnizki, St Pancras Grand exudes old world glamour and is located away from the bustle of St Pancras International on the Upper Concourse. This hospitality destination also houses an oyster and a separate whisky bar, and those seeking a little privacy could head to the graceful Betjeman Room.

Head Chef, Chris Dines' menu is quintessentially British and combines old favourites with modern day classics, so expect to find Romney salt marsh lamb rump, slow roast pork belly and Eton mess. The all day place is also renowned for its weekly jazz brunch on Sundays.

European wines complement the food at St Pancras Grand and are available by the glass, carafe and bottle.

The glamorous Champagne Bar, situated below the magnificent Barlow Shed, is Europe's longest bar where customers could choose from the largest selection of Grand Marque houses in the UK, with seventeen available by the glass. The stylish venue also plays host to several events like pre-Eurostar breakfasts, product launches and wedding receptions.

Café Rouge has over one hundred branches throughout Britain all offering a wide range of dishes drawn from the French cuisine. Slightly less than half their branches are in or close to London. Almost inevitably the décor and design of each restaurant differs from the others, but there is a general curtsy towards La France.

Many restaurants do an excellent breakfast, or shall we say petit dejeuner, at which such delights as scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on toasted brioche, croque Madame, croissants and pain au chocolat make welcome appearances, and to their credit the English traditional gets top billing.

An array of small dishes takes in pulled pork pâté with French bread, and spicy beef and lamb sausage with harissa mayonnaise. Salads and pasta feature largely, as do baguettes and croques. Quick dishes, ideal for lunch, include slices of saucisson and cured pork loin with French bread.

Moving on to more serious stuff we find steaks, an 8oz bavette and thin cut rib eye, with a choice of béarnaise or peppercorn sauce. No French menu would be complete without the poulet jaune grille, pan-roasted breast of corn-fed chicken served on a warm taboulé of bulgar wheat and a medley of roasted vegetables with minted crème fraîche, or a steak frites before moving on to the crème brûlée, or the tart tatin. Almost invariably the coffee tastes like coffee should, something that sadly can all too often still not be said of our English restaurants, who depend too much upon technology and too little on the acquisition of a certain flair for this important conclusion to a meal.

By now we all know that the French, despite their distinctive habits when it comes to matters of satisfying the inner man, maintain a miraculous longevity of life. This is generally attributed to a number of causes, of which a measured consumption of decent wine is foremost. Café Rouge, you may be pleased to hear, encourages this with a well-chosen selection of French wines. Their prix fixe lunch and meals for children, both at a very reasonable figure, also offer excellent value.

Morgans Hotel Group and China Grill Management, who, in 1999, brought the ultra chic Asia de Cuba to London at the St Martins Lane hotel, has recently opened Suka at Sanderson, a collaboration with the critically acclaimed New York-based chef, Zak Pelaccio.

Suka offers modern authentic Malaysian cuisine, prepared with European sensibility and technique, the result of Pelaccio training both in Southeast Asia and under the guidance of some of the United States' most important chefs, Daniel Boulud and Thomas Keller.  A rising star on the American culinary scene, Pelaccio uses Western influences, French cooking techniques and fresh British and Malaysian produce, whilst ensuring that the intensity and spectrum of the Southeast Asian flavours for which Malaysian cuisine is known.

Set on the ground floor of Sanderson, the lavish 'urban-spa' oasis which is an ironic combination of extravagance and simplicity, Suka encompasses the hidden space following the Long Bar as well as the entire Garden Terrace. The dramatic space has been redesigned by the renowned Paris based architect and designer India Mahdavi. The restaurant has a relaxed and casual ethos, while still capturing the wit, irony and elegance of the award-winning hotel.

The menu is served in typical Asian sharing style and includes the following dishes, ranging from home-style to truly elegant and deluxe, such as oyster omelette, oxtail soup, curried crab laksa, Tamworth pig claypot, Scottish salmon, skate bakar, foie gras roasted whole or turbot.

A smaller snack menu from Suka is also served at the Long Bar and late night: a selection of buns - brisket, shrimp, pork or vegetable; skewers of baby squid, beef or lamb; pork belly and Oyster claypot; Nasi Ayam - chicken and rice claypot.
