London's Hottest New Restaurant and Nightlife Openings (2025-2026)
The freshest new London restaurant and nightlife openings, from Carbone's Mayfair debut to Marylebone's Club 77 - the venues everyone is trying to book right now.
London's dining and nightlife scene never sits still, and the last two years have delivered some of the most talked-about openings in the city's history. If you are searching for the best new London restaurants and the freshest nightlife arrivals, this is the shortlist that matters - a New York icon landing in Mayfair, a two-Michelin-star kitchen decorated with an original Concorde nose cone, and a wave of new London clubs built for late nights and bottle service. Below are the newest and most in-demand openings and relaunches, ranked with the freshest arrivals first - restaurants book through their own venue pages, and our London partner arranges the table at the clubs.
We have been honest about timing: where an opening date is confirmed we name it, and where it is not, we simply call it a recent arrival.
Carbone
The single hottest new London opening. Carbone - the Major Food Group phenomenon out of New York - opened inside the Chancery Rosewood on Mayfair's Grosvenor Square, and it has quickly become one of Mayfair's hardest tables to book. This is the group's largest room to date, dressed by longtime collaborator Ken Fulk in midcentury supper-club glamour. Order the spicy rigatoni vodka and the veal parmesan. It is for anyone who wants to be at the center of the current Mayfair scene - and it is nearly impossible to book without help.
Club 77
One of the most serious new London openings for anyone who cares about sound. Club 77 launched in 2025 as a 550-capacity subterranean room beneath the BoTree hotel in Marylebone, built around an L-Acoustics system with a full visual rig of lasers, strobes and LED. The split-level layout puts VIP tables on both floors with direct views of the dancefloor, and the opening weekend brought Kerri Chandler and Skepta to the decks. It is for the crowd that wants a genuine club experience - proper the music with full hospitality on top.
Selene
Selene opened in autumn 2024 inside the Mappin House building on Winsley Street, just off Oxford Circus, and quickly became one of the city's most-hyped new clubs. The concept leans into Greek mythology - Selene the moon goddess - with tiered tables ringing the DJ booth and a sister room, Helios, dedicated to house. Expect an open-format main room and a polished, dressed-up crowd. It is for groups who want a big-night-out club with theatrical design and serious table energy near the West End.
Pirana London
Pirana London opened in 2024 on St James's Street, from co-founders Garry Caprani and Asher Grant. It is Nikkei cooking - the Peruvian-Japanese crossover - served in an architecturally bold room that shifts from dinner to full clubstaurant as a live DJ takes over and the lighting drops. The bar leans into espresso martinis and pisco-based cocktails. It is for anyone who wants dinner and a night out to happen in the same seat.
Caviar Kaspia London
The Parisian caviar house reborn as a Mayfair jewel box. Caviar Kaspia London brought the Parisian caviar house to a Mayfair townhouse on Chesterfield Street, with its signature menu and a ground-floor bar. The signature remains the baked potato crowned with caviar - a dish that has followed the Kaspia name from Paris for decades. It is for a refined, jewel-box evening where the room is as considered as the plate.
Mistress of Mayfair
Mistress of Mayfair opened in early 2024, tucked below street level at 48 St James's Street on the corner with Piccadilly. It is a Parisian-inspired restaurant, late-night bar and members lounge in one - red velvet drapes, a Champagne trolley, and modern Mediterranean cooking with French technique. It is for a discreet, theatrical evening that slides from dinner into a late one without ever leaving the building.
Brooklands by Claude Bosi
The most decorated new opening of the recent wave. Brooklands by Claude Bosi is the rooftop fine-dining room at The Peninsula London, and it holds two Michelin stars - awarded in record time after opening, and retained since. The dining room carries a rotating collection of racing and aviation memorabilia, including an original Concorde nose cone, alongside Bosi's precise, produce-led cooking and sweeping views. It is for a landmark special occasion where the kitchen, the room and the view all operate at the top of the city.
Mount St. Restaurant
Mount St. Restaurant is a recent addition to Mayfair's dining landscape and remains one of its most in-demand tables. Set on the first floor of the Audley landmark, it is Artfarm's art-filled room - the hospitality venture from the owners of the Hauser and Wirth galleries - so the walls carry serious contemporary works and the modern British menu leans on seasonal British produce. It is for a stylish Mayfair lunch or dinner where the art collection is part of the experience.
Madera at Treehouse London
Madera at Treehouse London is a recent arrival to the city's rooftop dining scene and the London sister to West Hollywood's Toca Madera, from the Noble33 group. Perched high above Marylebone with wraparound skyline views taking in the London Eye and The Shard, it serves modern Mexican small plates - sustainable seafood, grass-fed beef, ingredient-forward and built for sharing. It is for a golden-hour rooftop dinner with a view and a genuinely good margarita in hand.
