  The pandemic might have slowed down restaurant openings in London, but there are still some fairly high-profile imports being planned. Among them is a new outpost of famed Dubai restaurant La Serre.

  There's no doubt that restaurants with access to an outside area are going to have a better time of it than others as places reopen for business this weekend.

  Look, we were already jealous about folks living in SW1, but now we're even more so.

  While the terrace part of the equation is going to be pretty
