So you thought Fridays were good? They’re about to get a whole lot better. London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Transport for London have teamed up with booking platform OpenTable to offer a range of discounts at reputable restaurants until the end of May as part of an initiative to encourage more Londoners to use TfL services and travel into the city on Fridays to boost the economy.
The trial scheme, titled ‘Let’s Do Fridays’, and paired with the new off-peak TfL offering, is a reaction to a recent survey by OpenTable which revealed that bookings made by Londoners on Fridays are down 20% on pre-pandemic levels, thought to be because a large number of people now choose to work from home on the last day of the working week.
