The Best Restaurant in the UK Is in One of London's Fanciest Hotels
If you believe classic fine dining is dead, please refer to the latest UK National Restaurant Awards rankings. The Ritz London, one of the world's more classically elegant dining rooms, where chandeliers cascade from the high ceilings and the mirrored walls and sweeping shades look like they were borrowed from Versailles, ranked No. 1 on the list, which was released on Monday night. It moved up a dozen places from No. 13 last year.

Everything We Know So Far About HBO's Controversial New Harry Potter Series
HBO's forthcoming adaptation of the Harry Potter books has inspired discourse ever since it was first announced back in 2023—due in no small part to author and series producer J.K. Rowling's noted transphobia. But this spring, fans of the franchise recieved a few important casting updates. Arabella Stanton, Dominic McLaughlin, and Alastair Stout Photo: Courtesy of Aidan Monaghan/HBO In late May, it was announced that newcomer Dominic McLaughlin would take on the role of Harry Potter, while Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout would co-star as Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, respectively. 'After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione, and Ron,' showrunner and executive producer Francesca Gardiner and executive producer and episodic director Mark Mylod—both known for their work on Succession—said in a statement. 'The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen. We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It's been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there.' John Lithgow Janet McTeer Paapa Essiedu Key members of the adult cast were announced back in April, including John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, and Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape. On Monday, June 9, however, a whole new batch of actors joined the project, including Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley, Lox Pratt as Draco Malfoy, Johnny Flynn as Lucius Malfoy, Leo Earley as Seamus Finnigan, Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, Sienna Moosah as Lavender Brown, Bel Powley as Petunia Dursley, Daniel Rigby as Vernon Dursley, and Bertie Carvel as Cornelius Fudge. The new series has been touted as 'a faithful adaptation' of Rowling's original material, and even amid the controversy surrounding it—what with Rowling apparently no longer on speaking terms with her original Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), or Hermione (Emma Watson)—it's hard not to root for these actors to have as successful (and normal!) an experience as possible, entering one of history's biggest young-adult franchises ever.

How to Watch 'Love Island UK': Stream Season 12 Anywhere
ITV Smash-hit relationship reality show Love Island UK is back for a sizzling 12th season, with the show set for a number of big surprises to celebrate its 10th year on air. Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the show as it airs live, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it's not available where live. Maya Jama will once again usher 12 singletons into the iconic luxury villa in Mallorca, Spain, with some brand-new twists and big-anniversary-themed gameplay planned for the first two weeks. In a franchise first, the female Islanders will enter the villa in pairs and select partners based solely on dating profiles -- before even laying eyes on the male contestants. And in a dramatic turn, reports suggest one contestant will be dumped from the villa on night one. Among those vying for the £50,000 ($68,000) prize for the winning couple are Harry Cooksley, a semi-pro footballer and model often mistaken for Arsenal star Declan Rice; Sophie Lee, a motivational speaker and burn survivor; Conor Phillips, a rugby pro from Limerick; and Antonia "Toni" Laites, an American bombshell living with ulcerative colitis who's ready to raise awareness and find love. If you want to see who sticks it out and who gets voted out of the villa, here's how you can watch season 12 from anywhere in the world.

See at ITV How to watch season 12 from anywhere with a VPN If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with your favorite shows while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial. Looking for other options?
