The most sought after restaurants with tables still available for when lockdown lifts Bookings open at 12pm today for one of London's most popular restaurants - everything you need to know The terrace at Petersham Nurseries Credit: Chloe Hardwick It’s been so long since we last went out to supper, we can hardly remember how to do it. How does it go again? Finish work, get dressed, drink Champagne, call an Uber and – oops, we forgot the important bit – make a reservation. Restaurants, pubs and hotels reopen for outdoor dining on April 12th and for indoor dining on May 17th (both compliant with the Rule of Six), and already, operators are reporting a surge of bookings that far exceeds anything they saw last summer. So if you have your heart set on the hottest restaurants around, now is the time to book.
