Restaurants are making stark choices to survive

- WORDS BY DAVID ELLIS AND JONATHAN PRYNN

It has already been a tough start to 2025 for London's rightly celebrated restaurant scene, arguably the most vibrant and diverse in the world.

But for how much longer? Gloomy London diners have been reluctant to go out and spend big during these dark early months of the year — and there have been casualties.

Last month The Petersham and La Goccia, the Covent Garden restaurants from the Petersham Nurseries owners, both closed their doors after six years. On February 15 one of Europe's most celebrated female chefs, Anne-Sophie Pic, threw in the towel at her restaurant La Dame de Pic at The Four Seasons hotel near Tower Bridge after eight years. The list goes on.

Review: Need a sound night's sleep? These earbuds can even cancel your neighbours

I am incredibly noise-sensitive. I have the disposition of an irritable bat, which is only exacerbated in a sleep setting. And I have neighbours whose noise is constant: coughing, kids screaming, shouting.

Shabana Mahmood faces revolt over her asylum changes

DAILY MAIL “For the millions in this country who want an end to unchecked illegal migration, Shabana Mahmood’s proposals for a Danish-style asylum system are a decent start.
