About London Lately

London Lately is a calm, independent guide to what is new in London. We cover openings, events, building projects, deals and the numbers that shape the city, across all 32 boroughs and the City, not just the centre.

What we write about

• New restaurants, shops and venues, ideally before they open
• Events and things to do this week and this weekend
• Construction, regeneration and planning decisions
• Weekly deals worth knowing about
• Money: the pound, house prices, interest rates and the London economy, explained plainly

We leave crime and outrage to others. If a story affects your day, like a big transport closure, we will tell you what it means in practice.

How we check what we publish

Every key fact, like a date, a price or an address, is checked against at least two sources, one of them official where possible: the business or organiser itself, a council, the Greater London Authority, the Bank of England or the Office for National Statistics. We link to our sources at the end of every article so you can check them too.

Dates and prices change. Each article shows when it was last checked. If you spot something out of date or wrong, tell us and we will fix it quickly.

Independent

Nobody pays to be featured on London Lately. If we ever publish a sponsored piece or use affiliate links, it will be clearly labelled.
