Here's how London's restaurants, bars and pubs will reopen from 4 July

(We're updating this article as new information is announced)

Today, the government finally unveiled the new measures that will allow London's restaurants, bars and pubs to reopen from 4 July. Here's how it's all going to work:

• Pubs, bars and restaurants can reopen on Saturday 4 July
• The social distancing rule will be changed to 1m+ 
• That means it can be 1m only if "mitigation" is in place (e.g. face masks, seating people side by side - full info for that is here).
• Everything will be limited to table service only
• Contact details will be taken from every customer (to enable contact tracing if needed)
• Hotels will also be allowed to open
• "Close contact" venues such as night-clubs will remain closed for the moment

It's all under continual review though. Boris Johnson said, "at every stage caution will remain our watchword - and each step will be conditional, and reversible."

In the run-up to July, we're keeping track of all the restaurants that are reopening. If you're thinking about booking, see our reopening guide here.
