11 Luscious February Openings
Don’t be fooled into thinking that just because it’s February doesn’t mean there aren’t restaurants a’plenty throwing their doors open. From prisons converted into hotels to Adam Handling’s big Chelsea opening, there’s an abundance of new places to enjoy from this month onwards…

Emilia's Pasta
Restaurateur Andrew Macleod, founder of critically acclaimed craft pasta restaurant, Emilia’s in St Katharine Docks added to his pasta portfolio with a second location this month. Emilia’s Aldgate offers a succinct selection of seven pasta dishes which have been fine-tuned to pay worthy homage to the original dishes from various regions in Italy, along with careful pairing of pasta shapes with sauces.

The Perky Nel
A perky blinder style pub threw its doors open in Clapham of all places with a late-night DJ bar Gigalum at the helm. The Perky Nel is quite the perky place; a lively venue serving best of British where food and drink is concerned. What’s more, the pub is located a stone’s throw from Clapham South so “I’ll just come for one” might turn into something way more rambunctious. For giant screens showing the latest pub games to seasonal parties, The Perky Nel is your newest neighbourhood boozer.
Where: The Perky Nel 7-8, Cavendish Parade, Clapham, SW4 9DW
