The City of London is the location for one of the biggest openings London has to look forward to in 2017.

There’s a new cocktail bar coming to Finsbury Square, and it sounds worth breaking Dry January for, particularly as the drinks list has bee designed by Mr Lyan, aka Ryan Chetiyawardana who’s been called, among other things, the king of cocktails *and* world’s best bartender.
The Alpha Beta bar takes over the space at the front of the Modern Pantry on Finsbury Square, so it’ll have a handsomely paired bar

... - Crosstown opens a doughnut and coffee bar in Camden Market
We're delighted with the flurry of openings that are largely sidestepping the whole New Year's resolution thing, and what could be less January than a new doughnut shop? Crosstown, who opened their second doughnuts and coffee bar in Shoreditch late last year, have just opened their third branch in Camden's Stables Markets.
There'll be loads of exciting varieties of deep fried doughnuts to try, including their oft-changing seasonal range. Right now,

Good news for London fashionistas - Paris restaurant Ferdi, long known as a haunt for designers and models to hang out in, is coming to town. And they're almost ready to open the London branch of their restaurant in Shepherd Market.

... - Craft wine bar Pomaio opens on Brick Lane with orange wine, prosciutto and polenta
For the past few years, the craft alcohol market has been all but monopolised by beer, so it’s refreshing news that east London has just seen the opening of a new craft wine bar from two Tuscan brothers. Pomaio will feature wines from small, independent vineyards producing biodynamic, organic wine in the heart of Italy’s wine country.
Not only will there be plenty of classic whites and reds on

We’ve seen a couple of Catalan-style Spanish restaurants popping up around Soho, from Copita to Lobos Meat and Tapas. And now Dean Street is set to see another in the form of Rambla, which'll be the the second solo venture from Encant and Bravas Tapas.
The menu at Rambla is inspired by Victor's childhood in the Barcelona barrio of the same name. It’ll be split into three sections - the ‘Cru, which comprises
