It's a couple of weeks until the World's 50 Best Restaurants unveils its list for 2025, but in advance of that, they always release the long-list of 51-100. This year sees a big demotion for London as we go from five restaurants on the list to only two. Core by Clare Smyth and Brat have dropped out, but Tomos Parry's Mountain has moved up from 94 to 74. Lyle's has also dropped out, but that's already closed.

Chef Michael Caines won a Michelin star for his restaurant at Lympstone Manor, and has previously held two stars at Gidleigh Park. But until now, the chef hasn't opened anything in London. That's now changing as, according to Restaurant website, the chef is taking on all the food and drink at The Stafford London hotel in Mayfair as "Culinary Strategist". This has all come about because the Stafford group have just taken over Lympstone Manor and as part of that are bringing the chef to London.

There have been a lot of fancy new Mayfair hotels opening of late, from the Mandarin Oriental to the upcoming Chancery Rosewood on Grosvenor Square. And now another is added to the list, with this one planned as more of a boutique affair. The Shepherd Mayfair has taken over what used to be the Park Lane Mews Hotel, just off Park Lane and not too far from Shepherd Market (they say it's actually within Shepherd Market, but we'd say that's somewhat stretching its boundaries).

It's been promised for a few weeks and now Lardo's new wine bar is nearly upon us. Bastardo is opening right next door to the popular East London pizzeria, and as their window proclaims, it's focusing on low-intervention wine and "mighty fine snacks". Starting with those snacks, they're clearly sharing the same DNA as the main Lardo. So, there will be pizza fritti, sharing "trough plates" of pasta and other snacks like stracciatella with anchovies on toast.

The current smashburger craze shows no sign of slowing down and a brand new addition (at least to this country) has just arrived in Victoria. HBR first started in Kuwait, and this London opening is their first overseas.

Even before the opening of the big new Guinness HQ in Covent Garden later this year, there's been talk of whether we've yet reached "peak Guinness" in London. Well, this latest offering might be just enough to push things over the edge. Black Tap Burgers, recently opened in Soho, are already known for their crazy milkshakes but they've now gone one considerable step further.

A new street food market comes to London, courtesy of Kerb. They're heading west for the first time, opening in White City Place. There will be seven traders on offer at all times, in a line-up that will change over time.
