New opening

The Globe Tavern's most recent long-term residency was Khao Bird, which went onto big things in Soho. Now the next residency above the London Bridge pub will be hoping for similar success. 

Kismet comes from the team of Dom Handy (Crispin, Bistro Freddie) and chef Keiran Mustafa (most recently Bibi). In a similar fashion to the recently opened Zylia, they're concentrating on Cypriot cuisine, but they're mixing it with Turkish elements instead of Greek (which is the chef's own

Across the pond, its celebrity fans include Post Malone, Snoop Dogg and Cynthia Erivo. Now the chicken finger fast food giant that is Raising Cane's, is coming to London.

If, like us, you weren't already aware of the chain, here's a quick primer. They were founded 20 years ago in Baton Rouge and already have almost 1000 restaurants across the US. Their

It took a bit longer than we expected, particularly as they were such a big deal in NYC, but London really is getting into the slice shop trend right now. And the latest to get in on the action is Carmy's.

If that name seems familiar, it's because it happens to come from the same people behind Carmela's in Islington. That's Phil Chaykin (who's also behind Ugly Dumpling) as well as Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany, best known as the Bite Twice social-media food duo. The latter put their money where their mouths were when

The Pachamama Group have earmarked two spaces for new restaurants and we've got the scoop on the first one.

Soraya is actually one of the group's restaurants that they developed outside of London. While they were busy pivoting to the likes of Zephyr,

The railway arches on Forest Gate's Winchelsea Road are about to get a boost from Roost, a new rotisserie chicken restaurant that's been set up by a local trio. 

It comes from the team of chef Amil Ourabah (previously sous chef at The Coach & Horses), Jake Salter and Andrew Neilson, the latter touting his local credentials as being the great-nephew of Terrance Messenger, the last Mayor of Leyton.

At the end of last year, Douglas McMaster's Silo shut the doors in Hackney Wick (over Crate Brewery), but now Uncle Hon's BBQ is taking the space over, having completed a successful Kickstarter. 

Founder Man Hon Luk (who lives in the area) has learned his BBQ know-how the proper way, learning his skills in the home of BBQ: Austin, Texas. Since then, he's been popping up all over London and eventually

They're called hg here in the UK but are much better known under their European name Honest Greens. And having gone down an absolute storm with their first healthy dining restaurant in Soho it looks like the group is already planning a second opening for London.

An application has gone in to Westminster Council to open in a coworking space right beside Victoria Station. And it looks to be a pretty decent-sized restaurant too, taking over the corner to the south of the station. There will be room for more than 200 diners

Updated 26/6/26 with Finsbury Park opening date

Over the bank holiday weekend, Brixton became the first place in the UK to get a brand new PizzaExpress that looks more like a fast food joint than a pizzeria. Putting the express into PizzaExpress this latest branch looks nothing like the restaurants of old, with self-ordering machines at the front and with the option to order in, grab and go or even book a delivery.

The Brixton store is the first in a rollout of new small PizzaExpresses. A press release also mentioned that Finsbury Park and Earls Court would be

Unless you're going out with Lewis Hamilton, used to be married to Brad Pitt or are an A-list model that once bathed in Champagne at a London hotel, you're unlikely to already be a member of one of the Estelle members clubs. But the good news is that over in Notting Hill at their newest club opening, you're actually now able to pop in and try the club restaurant.

Celeste is the main eatery at Estelle's latest opening which was unveiled on Ledbury Road in the spring, taking over the old Beach Blanket Babylon space. The restaurant is now open to the public. But if you want access to

Victoria is about to get a new food hall as Market Place, which also has halls in St Paul's, Vauxhall and more, is getting ready to open inside the station.

Indeed, they're touting it as the UK's very first food hall that's actually inside a London station. Now Victoria already has a food hall courtesy of Market Hall which is just opposite the entrance to Victoria but this will be the first in a station itself. They've taken over 5000sq ft, but we're not exactly sure where they're fitting this in, so if any readers have on-the-ground info, let us know.

A full 135 years after their first cookie store opened in Chicago, followed by a slew of Paris openings in the 80s onwards, the Chicago/Paris chain Laura Todd is finally getting around to opening their first London store.

Gloucester Road tube station is the site they've chosen for their entry into the London bakery scene and they'll be opening in the actual listed station building itself.

If you haven't tried their cookies in France or Belgium before, then this is rather an upmarket offering with raw sugar, free range
