This week’s hotlist is your passport to making every moment special.
We’re talking a dazzling new jewellery brand launch, a full‑on wellness week, a must‑see theatrical gem, the arrival of a true American institution restaurant from the noughties, and an Amazonian skincare brand championing rainforest botanicals and clean beauty rituals. From sparkle to self‑care, culture to cuisine, this is your guide to the coolest cultural and lifestyle moments this week.
EAT HERE Automat, Mayfair
Automat, the iconic early-2000s restaurant beloved for its New York-inspired brasserie vibe, has made a stylish return with a new location on Mount Street in Mayfair, introducing a refined American dining concept to the heart of London’s luxury district. Tucked discreetly behind Tanner Krolle, Automat is conceived as an intimate, speakeasy-style dining destination with elevated comfort classics, from burgers and lobster rolls to pecan pie, the reopened Automat offers a sophisticated yet welcoming take on American cuisine that pays homage to its heritage while fitting seamlessly into Mayfair’s vibrant dining scene.

WEAR THIS Pandora x Bridgerton
This month, Pandora flirts with Regencycore romance in its new Rules to Love By jewellery capsule, created with Bridgerton’s dreamy world as muse. Sparkling with symbolic bees, blossoms, bows and even a gem-studded Lady Whistledown teabag charm, the 14-piece collection translates the series’ signature wit, charm and fantasy into modern treasures. Pastel-tinged pearls, whimsical motifs and layer-worthy designs are as playful as a whispered secret at Queen Charlotte’s ball. Campaigning the collection are Bridgerton stars Hannah Dodd and Claudia Jessie, immortalised by fashion luminaries Tim Walker and Harry Lambert, bringing Regency glamour into today’s glittering style narrative. Available from 15th January (just prior to the release of the new Bridgerton season at the end of the month), these enchanting pieces prove that timeless romance never goes out of style, and personal rules are meant to be rewritten.
USE THIS Salvaterra
Salvaterra emerges as the season’s most captivating skincare launch, a fusion of Amazonian botanicals and high-performance science that feels as poetic as it is potent. Ethically sourced from the world’s most biodiverse rainforest and crafted with powerhouse formulas, the launch line features four innovative skincare essentials designed to nourish, revitalise, and restore radiance. From the Universal Serum that harnesses biomimetic vegan collagen and advanced actives to boost collagen, hydration, and luminosity to the Revitalising Cream that delivers deep hydration, barrier support, and a natural retinol alternative for a smooth, glowing complexion, the range is about elevating an everyday ritual into a sensorial beauty experience. Each product is lightweight yet deeply effective, rooted in ancestral wisdom yet propelled by cutting-edge actives. This is substance meets soul, and Salvaterra delivers both, redefining what it means to glow with conscience and couture allure.
WATCH THIS Woman in Mind, Duke of York Theatre
Woman in Mind feels like a thrilling theatrical surprise, equal parts sharp humour and dreamy surrealism that keeps you grinning one moment and gasping the next. Sheridan Smith is utterly magnetic as Susan, a woman whose everyday life tips into a colourful fantasy after an unexpected bump to the head, and she brings both wit and warmth to a wonderfully unpredictable performance. Romesh Ranganathan makes a charmingly awkward West End debut as the well‑meaning doctor, while the design, from lush gardens to psychedelic projections, beautifully blurs reality and imagination. This reimagination of Alan Ayckbourn’s darkly comic psychological drama invites you to laugh with it, ponder with it, and leave buzzing about its bold creativity.
