We flagged it up last year but things are really beginning to take shape at Centre Point in 2019 where Vapiano and VIVI by rhubarb open in the first two months of the year, followed by upmarket food court Arcade Food Theatre. Within the landmark Cheesegrater building, the long awaited Bob Bob Cité opens on 29th March, with a 'press for champagne' button at each table.
Due to open in spring, D&D London, the group behind Bluebird and the German Gymnasium, has an enviable location for its latest opening - on the 14th floor of the freshly finished 120 Fenchurch Street, one floor below a wisteria covered public sky garden. Over in Battersea, below the eye catching Sky Pool at Embassy Gardens, Irish Masterchef judge and owner of The Dairy and Sorella in Clapham, Robin Gill, is behind Darby's, the ground floor restaurant serving Irish food and home brewed stout.
