London's First Night Of Restaurant Reopenings, In Pictures
A photo series showing what it looks like to dine-out in Soho right now.
On Saturday, July 4th, London restaurants were allowed to reopen for dine-in customers. On the same day, some of the streets in Soho were pedestrianised to allow restaurants, pubs, cafés and bars to accommodate as many people as possible. Below, we’ve put together a photo series highlighting how some restaurants have adapted, and what being out and about around Soho looks like right now.
If you’re feeling ready to visit a restaurant, our guide to London Restaurants That Have Reopened For Dine-In Service is here to help.
