Harden's says
(Originally slated for autumn 2025 under the name Casa Como, this launch looks like it will take place almost a year late in autumn 2026). On the ground floor of what was once the Daily Telegraph’s Fleet Street HQ, a sister concept to Emerald Hospitality Group’s Como Garden. This late 2026 opening will house a salumeria (Italian deli), restaurant, bar, and 60-seat outdoor terrace and – with arches, marble, dark wood and greenery – aims for a gracious Lake-Como-comes-to-London vibe.

For 35 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
