Innovative sandos include chicken katsu with tonkatsu Dijon mayo, green tea-smoked salmon with yuzu curd, and golden egg yolk with summer truffle. These are complemented by picture-perfect patisserie, including a blackcurrant mousse Christmas tree, a Mayan chocolate and black sesame cake topped with Rebecca Vallance’s signature bow and a mont blanc dessert, reimagined as a snowman filled with a tart mandarin pâte de fruit centre.

Aki X Rebecca Vallance Christmas Tree
Taking centre stage in Aki London’s grand dining hall, a striking 14-foot Christmas tree designed by Rebecca Vallance brings the designer’s couture aesthetic to life.

Cascading ribbons weave through the branches alongside custom Rebecca Vallance × Aki baubles and branded gift box displays at the base. Complementing the transformation, matching giant bows adorn the windows, casting a stylish glow for guests within and passersby outside.
