Breddos Tacos in Clerkenwell is too popular for its own good, what with the restaurant being miniscule and the crowds of hungry diners so lengthy. So it was super exciting when Breddos Kingly Street opened this autumn – a space

Canova Hall, London: Rugged restaurant & bar in Brixton

London, South

X12th October 2017

I used to live in Brixton. Now I don’t, and it’s changing faster than I can keep up with. Brixton has spawned countless foodie successes (both Honest Burger and Franco Manca started out in Brixton Village), and new opening Canova

London, South

X22nd September 2017

Little Quiet: The latest – and most clandestine – venture from Disappearing Dining Club

London, Shoreditch & East
