Named after The Roxanne
... - A Stranger Things pizza pop-up has appeared in London
The wait is finally over as the latest series of Stranger Things has finally arrived (well, the first half of it anyway).
A big launch from Netflix usually sees them putting on an event or two in London, and this is no exception. This time, they've gone down the pizza route and have opened a branch of Surfer Boy Pizza (as seen in the show) called a Slice of the Upside Down.
... - The Rooftop at One Hundred Shoreditch is the latest roof for drinks and views

... - Boundary takes over from Albion as Boundary Shoreditch's new restaurant
There's change afoot in Shoreditch. Boundary London, which includes the hotel, restaurant and rooftop was bought by Harcourt Inns late last year (they're the people behind The Coach in Clerkenwell, The Hero of Maida in Maida Vale and more). Now we're seeing one of the main big changes as part of that - the unveiling of the ground-floor Boundary bar and
... - Shoreditch is getting a hot new rooftop bar Laurel's on the Roof
Back when it was The Curtain the rooftop bar at the Shoreditch hotel was strictly a members-only space. So we're delighted at the much more egalitarian approach by its successor, The Mondrian. They're opening the rooftop space out to everyone, launching it as Laurel's On The Roof this summer.
The name reflcts the restaurant's LA-inspiration, being named after Laurel Canyon, and it's going to be an all day-dining and
... - LALALAND is taking over the Dinerama space in Shoreditch
Dinerama in Shoreditch is no more, but coming soon to take its place will be LALALAND.
Details of this new outside space are a little thin on the ground, but we do know that it will all be centred around a courtyard with "tumbling waterfalls and living walls" and what they're calling a "sparkling plunge pool". We're going to assume that, even in the upcoming post-pandemic world, that the pool

They've already created immersive bars like ABQ (the bar with a Breaking Bad theme) and Bletchley (1940s based, a bit of codebreaking involved) and now the same people behind those are heading to Shoreditch with another immersive bar.
This time it's called H Division. It's themed as a Victorian police station in east London that's covering unsolved cases. And yes,

After the success of Seven Dials Market, Kerb are branching out further from the street food scene with a new venture in Shoreditch - Kerb Counter. It's both relocating from its previous home in Camden, to new digs just off Old Street roundabout, and evolving in the process.

London's Ace Hotel didn't manage to last the pandemic, with confirmation that it had closed permanently back in September. But just because Ace has gone doesn't mean that there won't be a hotel there. Instead - One Hundred Shoreditch will be opening in the space in 2022.
It comes from the group who also own the swanky

In charge of things will be Tristan Downes, who last worked with Stevie Parle at Joy. He's bringing a few of

- Sabrina Ghayour's supperclubs are back on, starting with Shoreditch
If there's a hotter ticket than the prospect of a Sabrina Ghayour supperclub, then we've yet to discover it. The bestselling cookbook author and regular Saturday Kitchen guest has always been well known for her sellout supperclubs, but the past eighteen months of Covid restrictions put paid to those.
Now, she's back with a bang, heading to London for two days of pre-Christmas feasting, taking over Barboun in
