August's best new London restaurant openings

By CW Contributor on 1/8/2017

August is a quiet month for openings; it's a month restaurateurs avoid while Londoners flee the city for the summer.

Instead, big plans are put in place for eateries to open in the early autumn like Dishoom Kensington or Sabor on Heddon Street – a project by a couple of ex-Barrafina staffers.

However, those ambitious few launching in August include Core by Clare Smyth – the country's only female thrice-Michelin-starred chef – and a follow-up to the excellent Soho Sri Lankan place, Hoppers.
