The Phene is a cozy, nook-hidden home to English classics with a swanky twist (think saucy chicken filo "pies" and a Bloody Mary fit for a queen). Get a cushioned corner seat by a heater outside in order to spy on all of Chelsea's bright young things who frequent the society pages: It's home to the borough's numerous fashionistas, Russian oligarchs, and reality television stars. Get tipsy on their extensive wine list (at £8 a glass their Alois Lageder Rain Vineyard Reisling is a steal) or try their Westborne Park, a delicate mix of Miller's Westbourne gin, "sacred rosehip", Martini Rosso, and cucumber.

- Bars: "When you've had your fill of Sunday lunch and sauvignon, go for a stroll along the embankment and take a turn into Battersea for a lounge in the park."
- Best for Bars Because: The quality and setting (Phene Street itself is one of the coziest, most coveted windy roads in Chelsea) make it worth the steep prices.
