The taste of freedom? Al fresco dining is set to return to 60 streets around the West End including Soho from April 12
London 's restaurant scene has been handed a major boost as plans to convert 60 streets into al fresco dining hubs were announced. Westminster Council said it will resurrect last year's hugely popular move to allow hundreds of venues to expand outdoor seating capacity by spilling onto the road. The scheme will begin on April 12, when Boris Johnson hopes to reopen hospitality for outdoor service, and stretch into the summer months. It means modest West End pubs without beer gardens will still be able to open at the earliest possible point by applying for these pavement licences. That restaurants were allowed to make use of the street proved a lifeline to hundreds of businesses last year amid tight restrictions on indoor gatherings. Of Westminster's 3,700 restaurants and bars, 560 took advantage of the scheme - which overlapped with Eat Out To Help Out - and the council is encouraging more to take up the offer. London's restaurant scene has been handed a major … [Read more...] about The taste of freedom? Al fresco dining is set to return to 60 streets around the West End including Soho from April 12
