Wolves of Tokyo comes aboard (and to Olympia)
Japanese dining just got a major upgrade in West London – and on British Airways flights to Tokyo. Wolves of Tokyo, a dramatic new restaurant in Olympia, is bringing neon noir energy and contemporary Japanese cuisine to the capital. Think 8,000 square feet of carefully crafted experiences: an 80-cover ground-floor restaurant with an open kitchen, plus a 200-capacity rooftop bar with elevated Japanese izakaya-style snacks and craft cocktails.
And here’s where it gets even more interesting for British Airways customers: from 1 July to 1 September, those flying in Club World to Tokyo can enjoy a three-course menu created exclusively for British Airways in collaboration with the Wolves of Tokyo culinary team. Highlights include black cod with plum miso and crab maki.

Nesting birds at the Kielder Osprey Project in Northumberland
Ospreys come to Northumberland
If you’ve ever paused under a majestic oak tree and listened to bird song high above you, you may well have enjoyed the work of Forestry England – England’s largest land manager – which oversees more than 1,500 public woods and forests, as well as the wildlife that depends on them. In 2024, Forestry England partnered with the BA Better World Community Fund and, thanks to the generosity of British Airways customers and colleagues, more than 27,000 trees have been planted and ancient woodlands restored across the UK
The partnership also supports direct conservation work, providing funding for Kielder Forest’s osprey population, which until 2009, had been absent from England for more than 200 years. Last year, more than £20,000 was raised, helping to improve infrastructure, create a new communications hub and install a nesting pole, bringing people closer to these remarkable birds. Forestry England has just launched a new campaign for 2026 to help create new nesting sites. The best part? You can follow along. With live nest-cam footage and regular updates, you’ll get a front-row seat to the impact you can make. It’s all helping nature take flight, quite literally. Learn more and donate here.
