Actress Natasha Rothwell fulfilled a lifelong dream of living part-time in London while filming the movie “Wonka.” During her five months in the city, she explored iconic landmarks like the River Thames and the Tate Modern art gallery. Rothwell’s cultural experiences in London mirror those of her character, Belinda Lindsey, in the hit HBO show “The White Lotus.”
Rothwell recently visited London for a press trip, where she shared her top five favorite destinations in the city. These included the Bridge Theater, MiMi Mei Fair Chinese restaurant, Hyde Park, Daunt Books Marylebone, and the Corinthia London hotel. Each location offered unique experiences that appealed to Rothwell’s love of art, cuisine, and literature.
The actress described the Bridge Theater as a sacred space for art performances and praised MiMi Mei Fair for its blend of classic and creative Chinese dishes. Hyde Park provided a peaceful escape from city life, while Daunt Books Marylebone offered a cozy atmosphere for book lovers. The Corinthia London hotel impressed Rothwell with its swanky lobby and luxurious Velvet bar.
Rothwell’s enchantment with London continues to grow with each visit, leading to speculation about the city being featured in a future season of “The White Lotus.” As she navigates her character’s journey of healing and self-discovery in Season 3, Rothwell remains appreciative of the city’s cultural richness and charm.
