Nick Jones, the founder of Soho House, has opened St Clement, a new hotel near Temple in central London with views over the Thames. Pitched as an open-to-all alternative to the members' club model he popularised across nearly 50 houses worldwide, the hotel follows the successful launch of its restaurant, Cafe Clement, earlier this summer, and takes aim at Claridge's and the Chiltern Firehouse with a warmer and more casual register that could help revive central London's late-night dining scene Mains at Cafe Clement are priced around the 20 pound mark.

La Petite Maison, the celebrated restaurant from the old town of Nice, has opened at Puente Romano Marbella, bringing three and a half decades of Mediterranean cooking to the Costa del Sol's Golden Mile. Founded by Nicole Rubi in 1987 and carried forward by her daughter Anne-Laure, the Riviera institution arrives at the beachfront resort alongside restaurant group DB Group. Guests can expect the Nicole-style sea bass, truffle rigatoni and unhurried lunches beside a Riviera-style pool, with live music running late over the Mediterranean.
McLaren Automotive has revealed the McL 6GT concept at the 2026 Monterey Car Week, a car inspired by Bruce McLaren's unfinished M6GT project of the 1960s and built around an authentic manual transmission, the first offered by the marque since the legendary F1 of 1992.

The St James's dining room that first opened in 1929 is entering a fresh era under The Evolv Collection. A restoration has returned Quaglino's Art Deco framework and famous staircase to full order, while a new menu follows founder Giovanni Quaglino's journey from Piedmont to Cannes by way of The Savoy. A champagne bar, a seafood counter, a dessert bar styled on a Cannes tabac and a new stage for cabaret complete the picture, and a Ten Pound Plates daytime offer keeps the venue's founding idea of accessible glamour in place.
