London restaurant predictions for 2025, from a New Haven pizza boom to even more tacos

Two-sip martinis? A smashburger and an Asahi? That indelible miniature hotdog at The Dover that costs little over a fiver and nurtures the soul?

London dining is full of sass and gumption, a world of fleeting moments, trends and influences that come and go as if a cellar full of Guinness. Fad much? Sometimes, though often these moments stick. True Neapolitan pizza arrived well over 15 years ago and isn’t going anywhere, even if other styles are moving in. As for flamboyant, £10-plus sandwiches, well, they’re here to stay, and for good reason. Right now, Cafe Mondo’s, pictured at the top of the page, might be the best.
