The ABASK Guide to London, Frieze Edition | As Frieze returns to London, the city shifts into art-week mode, with galleries, exhibitions and collectors spilling far beyond Regent’s Park. Between the fairs and exhibitions, there’s plenty worth leaving the art trail for. The River Café | A London institution since 1987 worth venturing west for. Vesper | An intimate dining room for a slower supper after a day spent gallery-hopping. St. JOHN | The enduring Smithfield institution that helped define modern British cooking. Lemonia | A Primrose Hill stalwart serving Greek classics since 1979. The Horses | A Soho newcomer from the team behind The Camberwell Arms, bringing a fresh take on the classic London pub. Boxcar | A neighborhood favorite for an easy drink and a little respite from the pace of Frieze week. Simpson’s Bar | Low-lit and polished, with the kind of classic bar atmosphere that calls for a properly made cocktail. TASCHEN London | For art, architecture, photography and design tomes worth making room for on the coffee table. Choosing Keeping | A Covent Garden treasure trove dedicated to the analogue pleasures of pen and paper. The Flower Stand Notting Hill | A riot of color on Westbourne Grove and a particularly lovely stop for armfuls of seasonal flowers. The Zetter | A characterful London bolthole that feels more like a particularly well-appointed townhouse than a traditional hotel. St. Clement | For design-led interiors and a quieter place to retreat once the fairs close their doors. Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art at the V&A | The UK’s first exhibition devoted to Elsa Schiaparelli traces the house from its radical beginnings to today. Japan House London | A considered stop for Japanese art, design and culture, and a welcome change of pace from the bustle of Frieze week. The Bayeux Tapestry at The British Museum | Almost 1,000 years after it was made, the Bayeux Tapestry arrives on British soil for an extraordinary exhibition.
