FASHION: BEST ACCESSORIES: JADE JAGGER (#8 on Map) Tucked away behind the Portobello Market you will find the stylish Jade Jagger flagship boutique. Opened in 2009 to a glitterati guest list which included a certain parental figure, Jagger has a specialist jewellery range to die for. Gracing her display cabinets are gorgeous gold and emerald rings, with mini sculptures on the bands, combined with ruby and tourmaline edges. In another piece, amethyst and diamonds weave together into a pattern of understated chic that you'd feel quite comfortable wearing to the Glastonbury Rock Festival. Check out The Kiss necklace or ring, which is her signature piece - guess where the inspiration for those lips came from! 43 All Saints Road, Notting Hill, London W11 1HE.

Open since 1871, it serves up truckloads of reassuringly fat chips, big mugs of tea, fish cakes and daily specials, from red mullet to trout. From hordes of office workers and tourists who tussle for custody of limited table space on the ground floor, to takeaway customers and after-show theatre patrons placing their orders at the fryer, any minor lack of comfort is worth enduring. But be warned: there isn't as much as a whiff of burgers and kebabs on the traditional menu. 47 Endell Street, WC2H 9AJ. (Covent Garden) Ph: 020 7836 3785. www.hermagazine.co.nz | 123
