A Small Bite Of London Food News 

Shaftesbury Avenue Re-Opens As An Open Air Dining Destination

Chinatown is one of the London areas that was hit hardest once COVID-19 came and has been struggling to recover. But in recent weeks, a boom in business has been happily received and this in major part to their new pedestrianisation. With restaurants putting their tables outside, many have been able to enjoy their Chinatown delights alfresco.
New outdoor tables have been placed in Newport Place also and with availability from 12pm each day, you can grab your friends, some treats from neighbouring restaurants and soak up those "new normal" summer vibes.

There's A New Sustainable London Food Market In Town

Just when you thought the capital had it's fair share of alfresco markets, London goes and surprises us again. Boulevard Market is set to open in September in Islington Square (just off Upper Street). It's running in collaboration with Real Food Markets, who are renowned for their focus on sustainability and ethical producers. Many different producers will be there but we're most excited about St John's Bakery, who will be dishing up *those* doughnuts for all.

Soho Hospitality Is 90% Re-Opened Now Thanks To Their Summer Campaign

If you've been down to Soho recently, you may have experienced a weird sense of displacement and probably thought you'd wandered onto a busy street somewhere in sunny Europe. Due to their Summer Street Festival campaign, Soho has been pedestrianised with many restaurants putting their seating outdoors. After initially worrying that the impact of COVID would have proved detrimental to the hospitality industry in this part of London, the move has been hailed a success as 90% of the trendy London district now have their doors open.

Remember - you can book any of the mentioned venues on the app now.
