We’re frankly sick of hearing that Peckham used to be all grotty markets and high rise flats – it ain’t been that way for some time so we’re calling for a moratorium on mentioning Del Boy and Rodders when referring to SE15. There, that was the last time. Nowadays this corner of south London has […]
The hotly anticipated Korean restaurant Jinjuu is slated to open next week in Soho, just off Carnaby Street. It’s one that we here at Harden’s have had our eye on for a few months now as it was originally due to launch in the latter half of 2014 but suffered a few delays, as restaurant […]

Korean fast food concept, Bibigo Bar and Dining, will open its second London outpost in Islington on the site of Alan Yau’s former Naamyaa Café.
