5 Places Suki Waterhouse Loves In London
Suki Waterhouse was born in Hammersmith and raised in Chiswick, so West London has always been home turf. From a Notting Hill picture house to a Mayfair members’ club, here are five spots that she keeps going back to.
Electric Cinema
This 1910 picture house, one of Britain’s oldest working cinemas, is where Waterhouse and Pattinson were first publicly linked, spotted on a movie date night in 2018 before heading on to a Soho House. Alongside the films, the Electric is known for its armchair style leather seating, footstools and in house bar, making it as much a plush night out as a trip to the pictures.

Balans
A Soho stalwart on Old Compton Street since 1987, Balans began life as a sandwich shop and grew into one of the area’s best loved all day brasseries, famous for its late opening hours, generous portions and pavement tables that are ideal for people watching.
It is also one of the most enduring LGBTQ+ friendly venues in the capital, and it earned its place in Soho history by reopening under its original ownership after a pandemic era closure.
Where: 60-62 Old Compton St, London W1D 4UG

Annabel’s
Waterhouse was photographed leaving this storied Berkeley Square club at 1am in 2019, an outing that made headlines mostly because she took a tumble down the stairs on her way out. Founded in 1963, Annabel’s has spent six decades as the private members’ club of choice for London’s fashion, film and old money crowd, set within jewel toned rooms and a famously lush botanical garden room.

NOPI by Ottolenghi
Yotam Ottolenghi’s Warwick Street restaurant opened in 2011 and remains the grown up, all day sibling of his famous delis, serving vibrant sharing plates inspired by the Middle East, Mediterranean and Asia.
The room is all white marble and golden brass, with individual tables upstairs and two communal tables overlooking the open kitchen downstairs, and it holds a 2026 Michelin Plate.

The Cow
Tom Conran’s Westbourne Park Road pub opened in 1995 and is widely credited as one of London’s first gastropubs, built around the classic pairing of a perfectly poured Guinness and oysters served from the bar.
The saloon downstairs keeps things casual with a boho, Irish pub feel, while a more formal dining room upstairs leans into seafood, and the pub’s motto, Eat Heartily and Give the House a Good Name, sums up its whole approach.
