- BOX are now the people opening that huge sports bar on Piccadilly Circus
For a long time new sports bar Blackwood was being previewed with huge hoardings in Piccadilly. It was supposed to be from the ETM Group, the people behind other sports bars like Greenwood in Victoria and Beechwood in Shoreditch. However, things went a little quiet on that front in recent months. Now it turns out that a sports bar is indeed coming to this space, but it's
... - Test Driving the savoury afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason - all the theatrics without the sugar high
When historic food store Fortnum & Mason opened their Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon in Piccadilly, they also introduced a savoury afternoon tea for the first time. We went down to see how it compares with the traditional version.
- A McVitie's Digestives pop-up is coming to Piccadilly Circus
Slightly mad brand pop-ups are the thing these days. We've recently had KitKat launching a new Blockbuster store and Bosch making you eat off the floor. Next up, a temple to chocolate
... - Blackwood is a huge new sports bar for Piccadilly Circus
The team behind other bars like Greenwood in Victoria and Beechwood in Shoreditch is getting ready to open a new sports bar and it's in the most prominent site yet. If you've been around Piccadilly Circus recently, you may have seen the billboards for something new opening at the corner of Shaftesbury Avenue and Denman Street - that's Blackwood.
The company responsible for all these
... - Viral Leeds bakery Get Baked is popping up at Fortnum's
Leeds bakery Get Baked makes a cake so viral that mere minutes after sales go live on their website every slice is gone in a flash. Now, Get Baked by Rich Myers is coming to London.
Best known for its Bruce cake - a towering 24-layered chocolate cake - the London pop-up will showcase the creation of Bruce's successor, the Bertha which is exactly the same except for one detail, the ganache will be a mix of milk and
... - A big Albert's Schloss beer hall is coming to The Trocadero
It's big in Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham and now Albert's Schloss is coming to London.
Somewhat understatedly billed as a "bier + pleasure palace", it's taking over what used to be the Rainforest Cafe on Shaftesbury Avenue, more recently home to Jungle Cave. It's a location that's not been home to the most illustrious of London's food scene to date, but maybe that's about
... - Justerini & Brooks have opened a boutique and tasting rooms in the Burlington Arcade
To celebrate its 275th birthday, and there aren't many London businesses who can say that, high-end wine and whisky merchant Justerini & Brooks has opened a swanky shop and tasting rooms in the Burlington Arcade.
From bottles to enjoy now, to those for laying down for later, the new boutique has plenty of options to choose from. But head further up to the first-floor lounge and there's also a space
... - St John is popping up at Fortnum & Mason while the builders are in
Most restaurants have to close for a few weeks when they do any internal work. But St John, always one to do things differently, has approached its upcoming kitchen refurb as an opportunity to try something new. So while their Smithfield restaurant is shut next month, they'll be decamping to Piccadilly store Fortnum & Mason for a three-week pop-up.
"Smithfield may be closed," says co-owner Trevor Gulliver,

- A Toblerone shop disguised as a jewellery vault is coming to Piccadilly
As we move into the Christmas season, all manner of crazy pop-ups start arriving in town. One of the first is the Toblerone Diamond Truffle Vault, coming to Piccadilly this week.
It's all a bit of an immersive affair. Designed like a fake jewellery store, when you get there, you'll be asked to crack a code (which we imagine will be on the easy side) and then you'll
... - Masala Zone takes over the Grade II listed Criterion building in Piccadilly Circus
Masala Zone is ramping things up a notch for its latest opening, taking over the highly impressive Grade II Criterion building on Piccadilly Circus.
Easily one of London's most impressive dining rooms, the building has changed hands a few times over the past decade or so with Masala Zone promising an entirely new look for the room (where the Grade II restrictions
... - The Piccadilly Cicchetti is moving to a much bigger Grade II listed building
Cicchetti must be doing rather well for themselves. Owned by the San Carlo Group (the same people who run the Selfridges rooftop restaurant), the Piccadilly Cicchetti is getting ready to move to a much bigger space - just down the road.
They're moving to part of the Grade II listed Piccadilly Arcade. It's a two-floored part of the arcade that will be double the
... - Veuve Clicquot are bringing back their Sunny Side Up Cafe, this time to Piccadilly Circus

They're big in Chigwell and pretty soon they're going to be just as big in London as Sheesh has taken on a pretty prime piece of real estate on the corner of One Dover Street and Piccadilly, right opposite The Wolseley.
