Flaming June might be too much to hope for but with Pub in the Park, BST Hyde Park and the Hampton Court Palace Festival all kicking off next month, there’s plenty to keep Londoners entertained outdoors. But if you’d rather be amused inside, June’s crop of restaurant launches sees tango in Covent Garden, DJs on the Strand and Indian disco in Notting Hill.
Look out, too, for new outposts of a trio of the better chains — a Lina Stores in Clapham, a Casa do Frango in Victoria, a Zia Lucia in West Hampstead — as well as the revival of one of east London’s most missed wine bars when P. Franco reopens in Clapton after a successful crowdfund.
