The Tottenham Court Road end of Oxford Street's days as the shabbier part of the shopping thoroughfare appears to be drawing to a close.

... - Covent Garden has a new rooftop bar on top of the Amano hotel
German boutique hotel group Amano has just had a very under-the-radar launch of its first UK hotel. The new opening is in the heart of Covent Garden with a restaurant, bar and - the important bit - a Skybar with great views over London.
Mikey Lucombe (formerly at The Mandrake) is running the bar side of things at the hotel which includes a basement bar that aims to bring Berlin vibes to London. Up on the seventh floor

- 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

The Dorchester Rooftop proved to be a pretty big hit when it opened last year (although Jay Rayner wasn't a fan). The space was previously a (very expensive) apartment/suite and saw the hotel converting it into a bar and restaurant.
After being closed for winter (it's not blessed with a retractable roof) it's opening up again for the summer where you'll find the main bar of

The latest celeb to get into the food game is rapper Tinie Tempah. While you may immediately think "it's going to be something to do with tempeh, isn't it?" it is, in fact, a new fried chicken venture called RAPS (we see what he did there).
It's in two parts - delivery and a pop-up at the John Lewis rooftop space Willows on The Roof. He's teamed up with chef Big Has for
