FOOD
Poon’s At Somerset House
After years of sell-out pop-ups, Amy Poon has finally opened her first permanent restaurant at Somerset House. Paying homage to her family’s culinary legacy, the menu celebrates authentic Chinese home cooking rarely seen in the UK. Signature dishes such as Zha Jiang Noodles, Claypot Rice and “Magic Soup” sit alongside Chinese small eats (‘siu sik’) served in the library. A curated wine list focuses on small, biodynamic producers, while cocktails created by Clotilde Lataille bring playful twists — think kumquat martinis and toasted rice infusions. Designed as a deeply personal space, the 62-cover restaurant features family art, furniture and books, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that’s part dining room, part storybook.

FITNESS
Max Palm & Friends Rail Jam
White Grounds Skatepark will be unrecognisable this Saturday as Peak Performance transforms it into a snow sports arena for one day only. Hosted by pro skier Max Palm, the Rail Jam brings together elite riders and local talent for a high-energy freestyle session featuring custom-built rails and a motorised winch to launch skiers into action. Spectators can expect DJ sets, athlete meet-and-greets, and an afterparty that runs late into the night. Best of all, it’s free to attend – just make sure you RSVP to secure your spot.
