New opening

We're still waiting for them to open in Battersea (apparently "soon", but they have been promising it for a year), but while we do, Noodle Inn really slowing down at all. Next up for one of London's most popular noodle bars is a restaurant in Angel. 

They're taking over a corner space that's been empty for a while, on the corner of St John Street and Goswell Road/City Road. 

As for what you can expect there, it'll be a very similar set-up to their other restaurants (although they are highlighting that this one will be fully halal). So you can expect to see the

E17 folk aren't short of a place, or 10, to go for a good pint of beer. And this month Beer Mile is going to have another new pub that's going to be worth checking out.

East London Brewing Co opened their huge new brewery to the north end of the mile this spring, and before the year is over they'll have crowned it with a brand new pub. The Black Horse Tap is the latest addition to their huge space here, which already has a taproom and events space. But this is fully a pub, rather than another taproom, with a wide range of beers, wines and spirits alongside a compelling food

We first wrote about Ergon House coming to Covent Garden back in 2024, but things went very quiet after that. Now, somewhat out of nowhere, they're actually getting ready to open this month. 

That will be the London outpost of Greek boutique hotel group Ergon House, and it's taking over a refurbished listed building on King Street (where the Covent Garden Carluccio's used to be). It's a mix of hotel rooms and "residences", but it's also bringing with it a new restaurant and store. 

Things have changed somewhat since the original announcement. Back then, we heard

Here's a complete guide to all the new London restaurants that have opened...

Earlier this year, Australian frozen yoghurt shop Yo-CHi came to Notting Hill and it proved to be VERY popular. The early buzz for their arrival in London was already big, but nothing could have prepared us for the size of those queues on opening week. 

But if those very queues have been putting you off heading over to Notting Hill, another Yo Chi is imminent. This time they're opening in Clapham, just around the corner from Clapham Common station. Although as there are a lot of Australian ex-pats in Clapham, this could be an even bigger hit than Notting

Jamie Allsopp (who's behind Allsopp's Brewery) has had a lot of success with his first pub, The Blue Stoops in Notting Hill (at the time, Giles Coren called it "brilliant little pub trying out great new things"). Now he's getting ready to follow that up with a big new project, The Warrington Hotel in Maida Vale. 

Although it's called a hotel, it's really a pub and 10-room hotel, located in an extremely impressive Grade II listed building, built back in 1857. After Allsopp took it over, he closed it last month for a complete renovation, which will include both

Clapham folk hankering after somewhere they can go for a bowl of pasta on the way home from work, or drop in for spritzes and arancini after a bracing walk on the common, will soon have Adelia to check out. It's a new pasta restaurant currently getting ready to open in the old Bistro Union space.

Certainly, the man behind it, former longtime Abbeville resident Thomas Texido, has plenty of form when it comes to working on restaurants that Londoners love. He's previously been in the ops team at both the Big Mamma Group and MJMK who are behind Caso do Frango and recent opening

Whether you're an ex-pat looking for a slice of home (and pumpkin pie) or just fancy getting in on the pre-festive season celebrations, here's our pick of the Thanksgiving events happening in London.

Beefbar only recently moved from its Chelsea restaurant to the Broadwick hotel in Soho, and now a new restaurant is already getting ready to take over its former Chelsea home. 

Lucca is a Mediterranean restaurant - yes, we've had quite a few of those in London over the past year. Lucca does come with a little bit of history though, as they also have a restaurant in Istanbul, which opened back in 2004 (and used to have a seaside offshoot in Bodrum too). 

The original Lucca's menu appears to go some way beyond a more traditional Mediterranean restaurant, as you'll

This week, Canary Wharf gets what looks to be a stunning new floating restaurant, there's a new bakery from Dusty Knuckle and the Three Sheets team open a new martini bar. 

They started out selling oysters out of a pretty cramped space in Borough Market. But 20 years down the line, oyster merchants turned restaurateurs Wright Bros are now getting ready to open a glamorous new restaurant in the heart of Covent Garden. This winter they're taking over the old Margot site, which, if you recall, is a pretty large two-storey space. 

It's a prestigious address, and to match it, they've put together quite the team. In charge of the menus is chef Kevin Gratton, who worked with Mark Hix for years. He's joined by Head Chef Jaspal Flora (ex-45 Jermyn

It's one of those restaurants in London that you may not have been into yourself, but you've definitely taken note of the almost perma-queue outside. Beirut-originating steakhouse Swiss Butter has always operated on a walk-in basis, hence the queues. But now, three years after they opened their first London restaurant, they're gathering pace to open two more places in London.

Over on Bethnal Green Road, across the road from the Knave of Clubs, an eagle-eyed Hot Dinners reader spotted that the group are already

Londoners love a good focaccia sandwich. All you have to do is look at the queues going round the block every time a new branch of Dal Fiorentino opens. So we're relatively confident that the arrival this monnth of Fulvio's in the heart of Soho is going to do great numbers.

The folk behind it are the team at Fatto a Mano, a Neapolitan pizzeria that originated in Brighton but now has six pizzerias across town. Apparently, Brighton team member Fulvio made such outstandingly good focaccia, which was used for the team's lunches, that the bread inspired the idea of a sandwich shop to

Loris restaurant is a big deal in Beirut, having opened there back in 2015 and, since then, in Cairo, Riyadh and Doha. Now it's coming to London as the latest restaurant to open inside Selfridges. 

The restaurant itself is inspired by 1960s and 1970s Beirut, with an emphasis on Lebanese sharing dishes. For the menu, they say they're taking traditional recipes and applying a contemporary touch. In practice, that starts with mezze like hummus topped with mini fried kibbeh, moutabal made with grilled and fried aubergine and toshka - dough baked with cheese and minced
