kurobuta
366-368 King’s Road
Talented ex Nobu Chef Scott Hallsworth burst onto the London restaurant
scene with his rock’n’roll sushi joint, and the UK’s first izakaya (Japanese
pub), Kurobuta. First popping up on the King’s Road last year, it was
followed by a permanent home at Marble Arch and now at 312 King’s Road.
And Scott’s a busy man – this year also saw the launch of his third restaurant,
Joe’s Oriental Diner, also on the King’s Road and he’s set to make an
appearance at the Wilderness Festival as well as publishing his first book.
Kurobuta Chelsea and Kurobuta Marble Arch offer lots of options for private
dining including a 14 seater tapped beer keg table, the 18 seater ‘Sticky
Beak’ private dining room and the KB Boom-Boom Room which hosts 40
seated, or 60 standing, with a full service bar. For more information, take a

261 King’s Road
Luxury pewter specialist, Royal
Selangor, celebrates its 130th
anniversary with the opening of its
UK flagship store at 261 King’s Road
and launch of the 8515 Anniversary
Collection. Established in Malaysia
in 1885, Royal Selangor is now a
global family business with stores
worldwide, located in over 20
countries. The King’s Road opening
will be the first time the brand has
been able to showcase the
complete breadth of product to its
UK audience. Paul Kennedy, Royal
Selangor’s UK retail manager
comments, ‘We wanted to launch
our first store in the UK in a
destination that reflects our brand’s
quality and heritage. The King’s
Road offers an impressive variety of
aspirational brands that share a
similar ethos to our own, together
with the cachet it holds as one of
London’s most significant retail
addresses.’ To celebrate 130 years
producing skillfully-made,
handcrafted, intricate pewter
designer homeware, barware,
ornamental décor and gifts, Royal
Selangor has created the 8515
Anniversary Collection. Featuring a
tankard, tea caddy, tea set (teapot,
teacups and tray) and photo frames
in three sizes, inspiration was drawn
from original Royal Selangor
artefacts, created over a century
ago, now housed at the Royal
Selangor Visitor Centre in Kuala
Lumpar. www.royalselangor.com.
