 |  | And just like that, it’s spring. This week, if you’re in the West End, head over to Jidori to check out their new three floor haunt. Think old faves, new dishes, Omakase sharing platters, and a private karaoke room with over 8,000 songs. Par-tay. Further off, with a little under a month until Easter, we’ve got all eyes on travel – long haul, short haul, road trip, staycation. Anything really, it’s just time to take a break. Until then, we’ll be eating and drinking our way around town (this week, Asador at Sabor is on our hit list), and trying to get returns to Girls & Boys, which is over on 17th March. Whatever you do,

| | | V&A Dundee | | | London Exports | | | Some migrations are abound in the art world | | | Heads up – it’s time to plan a few trips, because some of the biggest names in London’s art world are upping sticks. The V&A is set to open in Dundee this September – making it the first ever design museum to open in the UK outside of London. The Serpentine is heading out even further, with a new Pavilion being constructed in Beijing, designed by Chinese studio Jiakun Architects. If you can’t make it out to Beijing, then head to our very own Serpentine Sackler Gallery as it re-opens this week to house Sondra Perry’s immersive multimedia exhibition Typhoon Coming On.

 |  | | Holly Chaves | | | Holly Chaves is officially London’s cheese queen. After hosting pop ups at Sager + Wilde, Sourced Market and Cannon and Cannon, her deli and toastie shop, Wine and Rind, is now open at Tottenham’s Holcombe Market. We quizzed the Tottenham local about her favourite spots.
| | Who is your chef to watch right now?
Chris Leach. Check out his pasta skills on Instagram – it’s just so pretty! He’s just about to join the team at the new Petersham Nurseries in Covent Garden so I’m super excited to see what he brings to the menu.
What’s your favourite restaurant in London?
Quality Chop House. Their bar snacks menu is stellar. I frequently order one of each of the snacks as a main course. The wine list is great, the confit potatoes are out of this world and there’s a deli next door for midnight munchies.
Where do you go to celebrate?
Rules. My old boss and dear pal Yianni Papoutsis first took me there a good few years back. I’ve since returned every year for a suet pudding and a jug of claret on my birthday – or whenever there’s cause for celebration.
