London is one of the greatest cities in the world to dine out in. From modern fine-dining institutions to neighbourhood spots serving cuisine from every corner of the globe, if you want it, you can find it here. But the hospitality industry has faced immense challenges in recent years: Brexit, Covid and the cost of living crisis have all taken their toll.
So, we took it upon ourselves to ask what it means to dine and drink out in London right now. In Foodism 62, we explore the city’s evolving food and drink scene, from the rise of Japanese-style listening bars to the growing presence of top-tier pub dining. We look at the creative ways restaurants are adapting to survive and how the way we discover where to eat is changing. Plus, we take a seaside escape to Folkestone, visit London’s most cult-worthy bar to see what makes it legendary, and dive into the state of brewing in the capital today.
