It may be one of London's oldest restaurants, but there's a new influence in the kitchen at the Guinea Grill.

Chef Nathan Richardson and the Guinea's GM Oisin Rogers go way back - they worked together first at the Ship in Wandsworth and then at Rogers' last place, The Canonbury Tavern in Islington.

The Galvin Brothers' latest sees them opening a restaurant in the refurbished five-star Athenaeum. We take a look. 

A new restaurant and bar is coming to Shepherd Market that pays tribute to a very old London institution. Hatchetts was originally a hotel and coffee house in Piccadilly with a reputation going all the way back to Dickens.
