We may be some way off from knowing when the Night Tube is ever coming back, but there's at least one good sign that late-night eating and drinking in London is back on the cards. 

For the first time since the very first lockdown, Duck & Waffle is back to its original 24 hour opening hours. So if you're back at work in the City and really fancy some of their BBQ spiced crispy

There are two places you can always guarantee queues outside in London - Dishoom and The Breakfast Club. Now the latter, having tied up the breakfast scene, are getting into the late-night market by opening Saint Elmo's (fans of John Hughes movies will get the reference).

Saint Elmo’s Late-Night Sandwich Bar will take over their Berwick Street Cafe every day from 5pm. As the name suggests it'll serve up a range of sandwiches which they

It's already a Borough Market mainstay, but the addition of a new late-night burger menu at Roast is bound to get the punters in.

The new #Roastdoesburgers menu will be served from 8.30pm-late. There'll be four to choose from - three meaty burgers in brioche buns and a vegan option in a charcoal bun.

• No.1 - 8oz quality British beef patty, cheese fondue, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, onion, and pink

The team behind Bun House have turned this, their first restaurant in Soho, into a late-night drinking dive where the food and cocktails compete for your attention.

If you've ever fancied a late-night snack in Soho, then DUM Biryani may well be the place to go. They're launching The Blind Tiger (a nickname given to speakeasies in the 20s) that'll be dishing out food until midnight. 

That food will be small plates and snacks (based on Andhra Pradesh and Telangana cuisine) including Pumpkin Papdi Chaat, a selection of crisp flatbreads with masala pumpkin, yoghurt and chutney and,

The duo behind Bun House and Pleasant Lady are turning their original site into a bar and restaurant inspired by the late night scene of 1960s Hong Kong.

Notting Hill's food credentials are boosted by a restaurant and bar team that comes via the River Cafe and Soho House to take over this old pub. They'll be serving up sharing plates, cooked over fire or in a wood-burning oven. 

Imagine landing a fabulous house share in Notting Hill. That's the premise of this new pop-up turned permanent bar and restaurant on All Saints Road..

The stretch of St Paul's Road from Highbury Corner already has the likes of Trullo, Prawn on the Lawn and St Paul to attract folk in the evening. Now, there's another space to spend your time and money.

Rick Toogood tells us that Prawn on the Lawn is taking over the space at next door coffee shop Sawyer & Gray in the evenings turning it into a cocktail and oyster bar for Sawyer & Gray Lates. They'll be serving up food and drink at night from 6pm

Spiritland's new Festival Hall digs gives as much importance to what's playing and how it sounds as what's being served up. Oh and it's open very late too. 

The team behind Spiritland are opening their second King's Cross venue over on Handyside Street, featuring a ground level pizza restaurant and basement late night licence cocktail bar.

Finsbury Park gets a tiny hole in the wall sandwich shop aimed at chefs coming off shift and other late ngiht stop outs.

It’s no secret that we’re fans of Som Saa, London’s much-loved Thai spot. So it’s welcome news that they’ll soon be staying open even later these coming weeks as they begin a series of Late Night Sessions.

The nights will see Som Saa putting their international partying know-how to good use as they stay open until 1.30am, keeping the grills going to

There's been a fair bit of end-is-nigh-ing in Finsbury Park when it became known that local live music venue The Silver Bullet was closing. But we're MUCH more interested in what's coming in its place. It's been bought by the people behind Goodman and will open as Zelman Drinks.

Hot Dinners caught up with Goodman operations director Dave Strauss who told us that they want to open a
