Fulham has a new Italian gelateria of dreams – welcome La Gelateria Della Luna
Ice cream shops are ubiquitous in London, but say the magic word (Italian) and we’re merrily gearing up to queue for one hour for a £5+ scoop. There is no ice cream quite like proper Italian gelato.

Poolhouse is London’s most glamorous new venue – and yes, you’re there to play pool
The team behind Topgolf and Puttshack have a clear formula: take something familiar, strip it back, rebuild it properly, and make the room beautiful while you’re at it. Poolhouse – their latest venue, now open at 100 Liverpool Street – applies the same logic to pool. Twenty tables across 21,000 square feet, AI-assisted gameplay, a…

This just in: Wahaca is giving away free chocolate ice cream tacos next week
A Tony’s Chocolonely ice cream taco is exactly the kind of fever-dream creation Willy Wonka would have scrawled on a napkin at 3am. We’d absolutely pay serious money for it, and we’re fairly confident we’re not alone on this one. But for one day only, Wahaca is kindly treating Londoners to 100 of these marvellous…

Award-winning Scarfes Bar has a new Heroes & Villains cocktail menu, and it’s dangerously good

Scarfes Bar has been doing the latter since it opened in 2014, and its accomplishments over the years have earned it all the bragging rights. Its trophy cabinet includes No. 31 in the World’s 50 Best Bars,…

April in food: London’s top new restaurants and bars to try this spring
April is the month Londoners collectively lose the plot. The clocks go forward, there are two consecutive days above 14 degrees, and suddenly everyone’s convinced it’s rooftop season, booking outdoor spaces and showing up in a t-shirt and a light jacket. It’s a delusion, but a productive one – and this April, the openings are…

Strike while the iron is hot: We visited Flipdog, the new Shoreditch bar making cocktails with an iron poker

March in food: The most anticipated restaurant launches in London
Ah, we’re finally seeing the sun in the UK after two grim months of near-constant rain, cold, and darkness. And while there have been some interesting new launches earlier this year (see January launches and February launches here), we’re looking forward to a month of a bit more sunshine – and some seriously tempting spring…

Wahaca is celebrating Margarita Month with two bold new cocktails
Pickle juice, hot honey and Yorkshire rhubarb aren’t the first ingredients that come to mind when you think of a classic Margarita. But for Margarita Month (yes, this February!), Wahaca is deliberately steering away from the plain Janes of the cocktail world – introducing two limited-edition cocktails that take the familiar tequila-lime recipe in two…
