New opening

Just over a year ago, Sally Abé left The Pem, the restaurant she launched at The Conrad St James, four years before (she's since opened the very successful Teal). While her OG restaurant has been running well since then, it's been without a named chef at the helm, and that's now changing. 

Taking over is Romy Gill, a chef who has actually cooked there before, once teaming up with Sally Abé as part of their "The Pem Presents" series. In recent years, she's been best known for her bestselling cookbooks, and this will be her first permanent restaurant kitchen in six years (since

We're not quite sure how this happens, but every once in a while you can see a massive trend rolling its way out through the London restaurant scene. Over the last twelve months, the new London openings all seem to have either been Italian or Japanese handroll bars.

Into the latter's mix that's already seen Kumori, Temaki, Maki Nori and Saltwater opening within months of each other, comes Miokuru in Soho. It's tucked away on Warwick Street, just off Regent Street, and it's another tiny space with room for just 20 diners.

So what makes this place different to all the rest?

What was once The Westbury has been closed for what seems like forever, undergoing a big redevelopment (they've even added an extra floor). And all of this work is about turning it into the St Regis London, a UK version of the luxury hotel group. We've been waiting to see what they would reveal as their restaurant and it turns out to be an interesting choice with a big name behind it, but maybe not one all that familiar to Londoners. 

The new restaurant will be Le

Asma Khan's hugely successful Darjeeling Express has moved around quite a bit in the past. It originally started as a supperclub in Soho, then opened in Kingly Court. It moved to Covent Garden for about a year and a half and then back to Kingly Court for its longest stint yet. But now, after three years, Darjeeling Express is on the move again. 

The new Darjeeling Express will open at 36-40 Rupert Street, taking over the space that was once Hovarda (and for a short while David Thompson's Long Chim). It's a much bigger

Here's a complete guide to all the new London restaurants that have opened...

It has been a decade since we told you about Coppa Club’s first opening in London at Tower Bridge and now, two more London openings later (Putney and Marylebone), there's news that they’ll open a fourth location in the capital, this time at London Bridge.

The London Bridge Coppa Club is intended to be the group's flagship location. So in addition to an impressive Thames-adjacent site that’s right between The Shard and Tower Bridge (hello panoramic views

Attention North London, or more specifically Stokey, there’s a new LA-inspired restaurant heading your way.

From the founder of Hackney’s Facing Heaven and Easy 8 in London Fields, Johnny Boy’s will be inspired by the SoCal comfort food Julian Denis grew up with in LA. The culinary influences from LA’s immigrant communities are vast, and Johnny Boy’s intends to be a neighbourhood venue that embraces them, from breakfast burritos and chilaquiles to crab tostadas and patty

If you’re always on the hunt for a new Italian restaurant to try, there’s one coming to London that has a pretty good pedigree. We were big fans of Lita when it opened in Marylebone in 2024, and now the same hospitality group (Fortune Family) is opening a restaurant called Salone.

Menu details are a little scarce at this stage, but according to a release from The Crown Estate, seafood and meat are both key elements, and Luca Natalini is on board as executive chef; he's currently the

Put down your stubby holder and throw on your fanciest stubbies… if you’ve ever been to Australia or known an Australian, then you may be aware that ‘stubbies’ can mean a couple of things. We’re about to give you one more definition: there’s an exciting new venue called ‘Stubby’s’ coming to Parsons Green.

The team behind the launch have good form: Oli Man and Greg Weaver, who hail from southwest London, opened These Days Bar & Kitchen in Bermondsey in

Here are all the new restaurants to look forward to in the coming week. This week, Spencer Metzger follows up Row on 5 with a French Bistro, N5 Kitchen heads to EC1 and more...

It's been a long time since Andrew Wong has concentrated on anything other than his two-Michelin-starred restaurant A Wong, last opening the short-lived Kym's in Bloomberg Arcade, back in 2018. 

But now he's getting ready to head to Shoreditch, opening Kong in the Nolton Folgate development (where you'll also find Osteria Angelina). He's taking over the address that was The Water Poet in the area, but that whole space has been completely redeveloped so we're not sure just what remains of that old pub. 

For this, he's teamed up with Dishoom co-founder Amar

Potentially in time for the next London heatwave, there is some delicious news on the way for fans of icy, nutritious treats: Go Greek Yogurt is crossing the globe to open a site in Mayfair.

The brand already has fans worldwide, with outlets across the US, as well as the Middle East, so you may have already encountered its creations, spanning smoothies to fresh and frozen bowls with myriad toppings plus the occasional special-occasion collab (Greek yoghurt with Meredith Marks Diamond Ossetra Caviar, anyone?).

The company now has a mini empire of self-serve yoghurt bars and

As longstanding local customers to N5 Kitchen in Highbury, we can personally attest to the happiness that Clerkenwell workers and residents are going to feel when they open there this month. The catering company and cafe have built up a solid business in North London with their breakfasts and lunches, which are great for anyone working from home. Now they're hoping that EC1 folk will fall in love with their offering too.

The duo behind it, founders Milly Wilson and Suzie Bliss, already cater for fashion companies like Jimmy Choo and Mulberry, and decided to open out that amazing

Just like he did with Corner Shop, the super-hyped restaurant and deli at 180 Strand, Nick Jones has managed to soft-launch a whole hotel with relatively little fanfare. St Clement, which is also in the same building as Corner Shop and Soho House, is Jones's gorgeous-looking new hotel.

There's very little official information available about the hotel and its restaurants and bar, so here's what we've gleaned so far. We know that there are 90 rooms and 15 suites, and that the hotel has a pretty amazing view of London from its riverside location. Room rates are apparently starting
