Things certainly aren't slowing down for London's new restaurants as we enter the third month of the year. There have been a further ten openings since our last update only a couple of weeks ago and loads more announcements too.
As ever, all of these are covered on our Coming Soon page and the accompanying New Restaurants page.
Things are changing all the time. We update the page on a regular basis (sometime several times a day) with new (and shifting) dates, new restaurants, soft launch details and loads more. This is our regular round-up, to make sure you're all aware of the latest updates.
First - up, here are the new openings of the last couple of weeks:
- Bibo - A new opening for Putney, this Italian restaurant is alreafy garnering some early good reviews.
- Salvation in Noodles is a new Vietnamese noodle restaurant that's opened in Dalston (and is also getting early raves).
- 8 Hoxton Square is the latest from the people behind 10 Greek Street and sees a similar menu and equally impressive wine list transported to Hoxton (and check out our Facebook gallery of our recent meal there)

Dates for restaurant openings are - as ever - very moveable feasts. The latest info we have is...
- Shangri La at the Shard confirmed the opening dates of both the restaurants and the bar (the latter in July) with bookings opening on March 17th.
- Tommi's Burger Joint on the King's Road has finally set an opening date. That's today (March 8th)!
- The next restaurant from Dabbous, Barnyard, is having a launch party this week - but is still being very cagey about an opening date. However, we think March 17th is a good bet.
- Rome restaurant Assunta Madre will make its debut on March 19
- Fast food restaurant Jamaica Patty Co will open in Covent Garden on March 22
- One Kensington, from the people behind Tamarind has moved to March 24
