  • Aussie brand Yo-Chi are opening in London, and people are losing their minds

    London's food scene is having a bit of a thing for frozen yoghurt right now. We've already had the LA company Go Greek Yogurt opening up to huge queues on South Moulton Street. And now the next viral launch looks like it'll be Australia's Yo-Chi, in Notting Hill.

    We'll admit, we'd never heard of it, but we could see fans on social media going completely crazy at the thought of being able to get this particular brand of fro yo in London. If you are also in the dark about why this is

  • Bleecker's burgers are coming to Camden Market

    Only last month, Bleecker was voted top of the World's 101 Best Burger restaurants, and it's hard to disagree. We've long felt that they make some of the very best burgers in town, and that's with extremely strong competition these days. 

    If you still haven't had a chance to try them and you're in North London, a brand new opportunity is coming your way as Bleecker are coming to Camden, right inside the market.

    It's their first-ever opening in North London and also their tenth site in London overall. It also means that if you're as far away as Holloway, Highgate or

    The big new London restaurants opening in August 2026

    August can be one of the quietest months for new openings in London, what with holidays and everyone gearing up for the big autumn push next month. But there are still a fair few intriguing new restaurants coming your way in the month ahead. 

  • New Mayfair steakhouse Cordelia's has taken over the old Robuchon space

    Mayfair isn't short of places to empty your wallet on a spendy steak, so it'll be interesting to see what new restaurant Cordelia's Mayfair brings to the table. The steakhouse has taken over the old L'atelier Robuchon restaurant site on Clarges Street, where they say they're bringing the theatre of live fire cooking to W1.

    Carnivores will be well served by a menu that focuses on British cuts, all of which will have been aged in-house. But should you wish to wander the globe for your steak supper, they'll also serve up Galician beef and Finnish Sashi as well as (and this is a new

  • Bloomsbury gets a shiny new rooftop bar as Arcus takes over the top of The Imperial hotel on Russell Square

    Updated 29/7/26 with opening date and menu details

    The Imperial Hotel in Bloomsbury is getting a (much-needed) overhaul at the moment, and a large part of that is focused on the roof. Up there, they're opening a brand new rooftop bar called Arcus. 

    It's going to be pretty huge, as they'll be able to fit over 300 people and, given that Bloomsbury isn't quite as high-rise as other parts of town, you should be able to get some fantastic views. They're promising views of St Paul's, the London Eye and, much closer to them, a bird's-eye view of the British Museum.

  • Lenny's is back, bringing classic New Haven-style pizzas to a permanent pizzeria in Covent Garden

    One of London's best pizzerias is back as Lenny's is going permanent in Covent Garden. 

    Back in 2024, Max Lewis set up shop inside the Bedford Tavern in Finsbury Park as Lenny's Apizza, a pizza residency with one mission - to bring authentic New Haven-style pizzas to London. For this new launch, he's teamed up with MJMK, the people behind Casa do Frango, AngloThai and more besides. 

    The New Haven pizzas, also called "apizza", originate in Connecticut at Frank Pepe Pizzeria from all the way back in 1925 (and that pizzeria is still going strong today). Max

  • Dumbo's French smash burgers have found a home in Soho

    A year ago, French burger joint Dumbo arrived in London (from France), opening in a small space in Shoreditch. It quickly became one of the new must-have burgers to try, sitting alongside other crazes like Supernova. 

    Now they're about to open a new Dumbo and this one will be both a lot more central and a little bigger too. They've taken over a site on Berwick Street that's already been known for its burgers, as it used to be the Soho branch of Tommi's Burger Joint. 

    Do not expect any changes to the menu, though. There will still be the very simple menu of a

  • Five Feet Pizza sees the Legare and Watchhouse team unite for teaming up for "fluffy dough" pizzas

    We're still waiting for London to hit its peak pizza moment, but in the meantime, we have a new independent pizzeria on the way to Bermondsey. This one sees the man behind Luna and Legare (Jay Patel) teaming up with the man behind Watchhouse (Roland Home), who have brought in an ex-Dusty Knuckle/Spring chef (Jack Ellingham). Together, they're opening Five Feet Pizza.

    Starting with the pizza dough itself, they say that what differentiates them is their 1cm thick "aerated, fluffy dough", baked in black iron pans for a crispy edge. So, while not quite deep-pan, it's definitely

  • Soho is getting a tiramisu cafe, Marrone, just down the road from The Dev

    We know that Londoners have a sweet tooth. All you have to do is look at the popularity of La Maritxu and their Basque cheesecakes or the queues outside Arome for their honey butter toast. Well, now those of you who think that tiramisu is at the top of the dessert pyramid are getting their very own cafe.

    Marrone in Soho comes from second-gen Italian Giancarlo Fanigliulo. He's figured out that enough of you are mad about Italian desserts to warrant opening a cafe devoted to tiramisu. For the launch, there will be three versions; Original using Estate Dairy cream and dark roasted

  • Sourdough Sophia's next bakery is in Covent Garden. There will be cereal milk cookies

    Since opening in a small site in Crouch End (she's recently moved to a much bigger space there), Sourdough Sophia has been launching very successful bakeries across town, but now she's turned her attention to central London. The next Sourdough Sophia will be in Neal's Yard in Covent Garden.

    Founded by both Sophia and her husband Jesse, the bakery will be taking over the Barbary Next Door site. That site was, of course, once a bakery itself before becoming a Barbary spin-off. In there, you're going to find sourdough loaves, of course, as well as sweet pastries, which include
