... - The Guinea in Mayfair has just got a lot bigger
While there's been a LOT of attention on the opening of The Devonshire, there have also been some changes at Oisin Rogers' old Mayfair haunt The Guinea. During Rogers' tenure, we'd heard about some very big plans there and now those plans have finally come to fruition.

After nine months, things are changing at 20 Berkeley Street. The restaurant there originally opened as 20 Berkeley, a British-influenced brasserie from the Creative Restaurant Group, which runs Endo Kazutoshi's restaurants, and got some pretty good reviews too.

- Mayfair's Chancery Rosewood is lining up Le Caprice and Carbone as its restaurants
The new Chancery Rosewood hotel in Mayfair is a pretty huge endeavour, taking over the space of the old US Embassy (and retaining the Brutalist look).

Ever since it opened in the weeks before Christmas, we've been waiting to hear when bouji new deli, Farm Shop Mayfair, was going to open its wine bar.

Nieves Barragan and José Etura's Sabor is coming back from the Christmas holidays looking a little different than before. Previously a bar space, right inside the front door you'll notice something quite different - a new table for 10 people. This is La Mesa.
