London's best venues for spotting the stars
Anyone who lives in London knows that celeb spottings never fall short. Whether you’re in the city centre or the outskirts, pop into one of these A-lister hotspots to get your celeb spotting in for the week.
With its central location in the heart of Mayfair, it’s no wonder why this place has hosted a few celebs and a few famous parties. A favourite of the royals, Claridge’s Bar has been the venue for several royal parties, serving celebrities such as Audrey Hepburn and Gwyneth Paltrow. Celebrity sightings might be few and far between here, but when you do see a familiar face, it’ll be a pretty big deal. So, book into the Claridge’s Bar for a classy glass of wine or glamorous cocktail because you just might get lucky.
This subterranean Japanese garden is sexy, chic and cosy, making it a perfect hotspot for celebrity A-listers. It’s situated just below Roka, named after the country’s national drink, Shochu keeps the kitchen simple with a delicious tasting menu, so the ambiance and drinks can take the spotlight.

Located in – that’s right, you guessed it – Mayfair, this centre city glam hub is decorated with stylish interiors, filled with delectable dishes and sometimes sprinkled with the occasional uber celeb. Joe Jonas, Kate Moss and Kate Middleton are among just a few of the celebs who’ve been spotted here. Choose from a weekend brunch (there’s even a children’s menu) or the a la carte menu for the perfect combo of taste and aesthetic. Top it off with dessert or even something from the cigar menu while you kick back, relax and see who you can spot.
Stopping by the venue where some of Britain’s most famous actors are playing is a no-brainer if you’re looking for celeb spotting. Reserve a riverside table and grab a pre-show drink to loosen up, then a post-show drink to spot some actors playing at the Globe. Getting a booking isn’t too difficult, but if you’re looking to see a certain famous face, we recommend booking with strategy.
