Whispers to the Wise

Roger Moore

La Poissonnerie is a favourite for Roger Moore and family in Chelsea. They know he likes his drinks shaken, not stirred.

Tom Hanks, Joan Collins, Stephen Fry

The Ivy is the grande dame of London's theatreland restaurants, so it sees its share of famous faces.

Simon Cowell

Mayfair's Cipriani is a favourite place for Simon Cowell to splash some of his plentyful dosh. Just don't try to do an audition - just bow! You never know, it might be worth a wink - or a glimpse of those famously shiny gnashers. Come on Simon... open wide.

Anthony Hopkins, David Suchet, David Tennant

Como Lario's is just a few doors away from the Royal Court Theatre off Sloane Square. Try the linguine with clams and mussels or, if you like things sweet, the pistachio and chocoloate ice cream. Dr Who could soon make that disappear!
