Look no further – from a theatrical reimagining to a cool chef series, our guide has options for everyone… ByEleanor Magill / [ Save To My Favourites ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/49911) Image: Straker's ## FOOD ### Guest Chef Series At Straker’s Straker’s is kicking things off in 2026 with the launch of *Straker’s Dining Room*, a brand-new events space designed to host emerging chefs, intimate supper clubs and one-off culinary takeovers. First up is Max Posener’s cult *Otaku* pop-up, taking over for two nights only with its signature bold flavours and inventive menus. Expect a stripped-back, immersive setting that puts the food front and centre. *Straker’s, 91 Golborne Road, Notting Hill, W10 5NL; 8th-9th January* *Visit* [STRAKERS.LONDON](https://strakers.london/) [ ![Straker's](https://media.sheerluxe.com/OiuxIV5SohmChqnCZa_kHEU1a2s=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F01%2Fsl-wtdtw-strakers.png) ](https://strakers.london/) Straker's ## CULTURE ### **High Noon** Screen-to-stage adaptations can be hit or miss but this theatrical reimagining of Fred Zinnemann’s classic Western *High Noon* comes with serious pedigree. Penned by Oscar-winning screenwriter Eric Roth and starring Billy Crudup and Denise Gough, the production tackles the challenge of translating the film’s tense, allegorical showdown into live theatre. With themes of morality, courage and collective responsibility, and a cast capable of delivering real dramatic weight, it has all the makings of a bold and compelling West End moment. *Harold Pinter Theatre, Panton Street, SW1Y 4DN; until 7th March* *Visit* [HAROLDPINTERTHEATRE.CO.UK](https://www.haroldpintertheatre.co.uk/shows/high-noon) [ ![High Noon](https://media.sheerluxe.com/8uTdrjJZRrqvzrHPIKtjIBwhHj4=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F01%2Fsl-wtdtw-high-noon.png) ](https://www.haroldpintertheatre.co.uk/shows/high-noon) High Noon ## INTERIORS ### The Giant London Flea Market London’s largest indoor flea market returns this Sunday, taking over a multi-storey car park at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for a day of treasure hunting. With more than 100 traders from across the UK and Europe, expect vintage furniture, pre-loved homeware, one-off decorative finds and plenty of unexpected gems. Whether you’re hunting for a statement piece or simply browsing for inspiration, it’s a dream day out for interiors fans. *Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Multi-Storey Car Park, 3 Lesney Avenue, London E15 2GZ; Sunday 11th January* *Visit* [QUEENELIZABETHOLYMPICPARK.CO.UK](//www.queenelizabetholympicpark.co.uk/whats-on/giant-london-flea-market) ## FASHION ### Jil Sander At Arlettie Minimalist fashion fans, take note: [Jil Sander](https://www.jilsander.com/en-gb/) is arriving at Arlettie with a highly covetable sale spanning women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, footwear and accessories.

Entry is free but you’ll need a valid Arlettie invite (sign up online) to attend. *Until 10th January* *Visit* [ARLETTIE.COM](http://arlettie.com) [ ![Into The Woods](https://media.sheerluxe.com/sanWOgdGYtV2OfnlQ6jL4tQXIxM=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F01%2Finto-the-woods.jpg) ](https://www.bridgetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/into-the-woods/) Into The Woods ## FAMILY ### Into The Woods On this week at The Bridge Theatre is the revival of Stephen Sondheim’s *Into The Woods* directed by rising star Jordan Fein*.* The story weaves together familiar characters – Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Jack (of beanstalk fame) – before gently turning their stories upside down in a way that’s funny, thoughtful and surprisingly moving. Visually, it’s a feast: Tom Scutt’s enchanted forest feels lush, magical and just a little bit eerie. While there are clever layers for adults to enjoy, the heart of the show is about wishes, consequences and growing up – making it a great choice for kids. *Bridge Theatre, 3 Potters Fields Park, London SE1 2SG* *Visit* [BRIDGETHEATRE.CO.UK](https://www.bridgetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/into-the-woods/) [Skip to the rest of this article](#sidebar-bottom) ##
