After seven years on Pavilion Road, fishmonger and wine bar The Sea The Sea is getting ready to move to a bigger spot - but it's only moving just across the road. 

They'll be taking over the space that used to be Wulf & Lamb, and that's giving them a whole new room upstairs that's going to be their new seafood bistro. In charge of the bistro is chef Nick Marsden, whose previous credits include Dovetale, Pitt Cue and The Laughing Heart. Up there, things kick off with oysters, to which you'll be able to add caviar for £1 a pop. As for the rest of the menu, that

New Chelsea restaurant Beef & Bass focuses on serving up two key ingredients really well. We went to the King's Road to see if they delivered on their promise. 

A quick look back at all the chef collabs that have taken place at Carousel over the past few years would reveal a distinct trend - they really love working with Mexican chefs. And at some point something on the team clearly asked the question, 'Why don't we open our own Mexican restaurant if we're so into it?'

It's been a troubled few years at The Langham, which has struggled to find a solid proposition for its main restaurant space since Roux at the Landau closed back in 2023. They did try to follow that with Mimosa from French group Moma, but that folded after a scant five months of service.

But news today suggests that a new lease of life for the restaurant may be just around the corner. The Thesleff Group, who run Los Mochis and Sale e Pepe in Knightsbridge, are taking over the space. They're planning a seafood iteration of the Knightsbridge restaurant, Sale e Pepe Mare. That makes

Mayfair's key seafood spots have a new rival in Lilibet's, a glamorous arrival from an experienced restaurateur that sets great store by its old school approach to hospitality. 

He had a very successful long-term pop-up at The Inercontinental, but now former MasterChef: The Professionals winner Alex Webb is getting ready to open his own place.

Behind it is restaurateur Ross Shonhan, who founded the

Tucked away from the main drag in Shoreditch is where you'll find Noisy Oyster, which turns out to be a haven for well made martinis and seafood snacking. We went down to try it out.

Together they run one of the UK's best seafood restaurants. The only trouble for Londoners is that you have to travel all the way to Devon usually to try their food. But this summer Mitch and Ben Tonks from The Seahorse in Dartmouth are running a three-month residency in Mayfair. The father and son duo's residency is at The Donovan Bar at Brown's Hotel in the heart of town, aimed at bringing their amazing seafood to central
