While it's definitely in the early planning stages yet, it'll change the space

It's been closed ever since the first lockdown, but now The Beaumont hotel in Mayfair is finally reopening - and there are a fair few changes as it re-emerges.

As of last week, Mayfair had a new pub. But this isn't any old pub, it's a Hedonism Wines pub. The White Horse has taken over the old Hatchett's site on White Horse Street and is the high end wine merchants first public house.

Until recently Carlo Scotto was chef-patron of Xier, but we've discovered that's another restaurant that hasn't survived the pandemic and won't reopen after closing its doors last December.

But Scotto isn't standing still - he's getting ready to open his next restaurant, this time in Mayfair (taking over a Caffe Nero site). Amethyst will carry on the style of tasting menus that Scotto was

Fans of Mayfair pub the Guinea Grill, who were perhaps disappointed when it didn't reopen for outside drinking or dining this month, will be happy at the news that landlord Oisin Rogers has changed his mind.

Having originally decided not to opt for an alfresco experience, he's decided to open the pub's outside terrace earlier than planned. To that end, they'll be putting out tables on Bruton Place from next

The Dorchester has unveiled its alfresco plans for London's grand reopening next month and they include the arrival of a brand new roof garden.
