London fine-dining restaurants one month after the lockdown

London fine-dining restaurants one month after the lockdown

A month ago the government announced that restaurants, bars and pubs would have to close with immediate effect. This came after four days of strong protest from business owners who couldn’t claim insurance or relief after the prime minister’s declaration that the population should avoid non-essential contact and travel, which effectively left the food industry in a dangerous limbo.

We went to check the state of London’s fine-dining restaurants: all the three and two-michelin starred, as well as those ranked on the World’s 50 Best list. From Gordon Ramsay’s flagship operation in Chelsea to hipster sensation The Clove Club in Shoreditch, here’s how the capital’s best tables look right now.
