Popular agave bar Hacha is on the move. Last week they closed their Brixton bar after three years and have moved across south London to Bermondsey. Their new agaveria is taking over the space that Robin Gill used to run as Bermondsey Larder in the Locke hotel complex, just south of Tower Bridge.

Bringing a taste of Mexico to Fitzrovia the new permanent bar at Carousel, No.23, feels like a sure-fire hit.

There are so many things right with what we're about to tell you, that our one proviso is that when rushing to book you make sure to leave a table free for us.
