New London restaurant openings 2018

There are a lot of new opening in London this year. Quite exciting!

Restaurants from NY are opening branches in London. Also, the White City television centre sees the opening of small independent stores, like a Soho house branch and a Bluebird café. Furthermore, some famous London restaurants are also opening branches in different locations in the capital (I always say the original is always the best). Finally, there are places that had opened and will open in Battersea’s Power Station new development.

So here comes the most exciting openings…. :-)
