New opening

A Hot Dinners exclusive

We've had wine and cheese, but how about wine and say cheese? Sorry. That's our rather clumsy way of introducing the concept of a new underground photographic wine bar that's just opened up in East London.

Stop Fix has taken over an underground carpark and is billed as a contemporary wine bar championing new and exciting winemakers from around the world. And they're showcasing that wine alongside rare photography books and

Popular South London neighbourhood spot The French House East Dulwich is expanding. They're about to open their second restaurant in London over in Crystal Palace.

Audrey opened the first French House 18 months ago and the East Dulwich one will be more of the same - open daily from breakfast serving French patisserie and Square

Bit late to this (in that it opened three weeks ago) but in addition to having opened Cafe Monico last week, Soho House have also unveiled their latest Dirty Burger and Chicken Shop.
