The London branch will take over the downstairs floor of Platapian, the Thai restaurant in Soho by restaurateur Nam Parama Raiva.

We're not sure whether it's a sign of the end of times, or the natural order of things, but everyone's obsession with matcha has finally landed at Greggs. The chain is launching a range of iced matchas in store tomorrow, and they've got some fun stuff planned to promote it.

The new range, which they say is "bringing matcha to the masses", consists of three drinks - straight iced matcha as well as a vanilla and strawberry version.

As you might imagine, they're going big for the launch and opening their own pop-up Pilates studio in London for a weekend. Greggs: Matcha &

Back in September 2025, a fire at the former Television Centre in White City meant that one of London's best restaurants Endo at The Rotunda was forced to close, less than a year after a major refurbishment, no less. 

But while the restaurant remains closed, Endo himself will instead be launching a new pop-up at Annabel's in Mayfair. Annabel's will be calling the restaurant "Endo, Upstairs at Annabel's" but Endo himself refers to it as "Untitled". Regardless, you

We can file this one away as an experience that seems absolutely tailor-made for us. We like chips. We like martinis. So, obviously, a pop-up that combines the two immediately had our attention. 

Both of these elements are coming together in a special pop-up from Grey Goose vodka, who are opening a two-day pop-up in the heart of Soho called The Grey Goose Chip Shop. Unlike lots of these

It might seem like the Dubai chocolate craze has been and gone but Harrods are very much hoping not. The store is banking on the fact that most Londoners will want to try the original chocolate bar that set off the initial craze.

To that end, they've brought FIX, the Dubai chocolatier that sent us all into a frenzy for knafeh and pistachio, to London for a

A couple of years ago, Gordon Ramsay bought Pizza East. Since then, the pizzeria has been running as normal, but now he's switching things up with a very interesting pop-up.

Anyone walking past Mayfair restaurant Mister Nice over the past couple of days will be forgiven for doing a bit of a double-take.

From the name on the blinds outside to the menu, everything has had a preppy makeover to tie in with the brand's Fall/Winter 2025

Their chopped cheese sandwiches are the talk of the Big Apple and now Londoners are going to get a chance to try them. Bodega City made a name for itself, moving from an insanely popular street food truck to a permanent spot in the South Bronx. If you haven't had a chopped cheese before, then as owner Jeremy explains, "it's essentially a cheeseburger chopped up on a roll with lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mayo...to me
