St James's London - Entrepreneurial insight and conscious dining: October in St James's

Discover an insightful pop-up in a townhouse, Christmas lights switch on and how to eat out consciously.

All the taste, with less waste Restaurants participating in St James’s and Regent’s Street’s pioneering pledge to reduce food waste by 25% by May 2020 have risen to the challenge, offering special sustainable dishes while also improving their kitchen practices. From vegetarian champion tibits using leftover herbs to infuse cocktails, to the creative way Café Murano uses extra fresh pasta dough, there’s plenty to try. And with destinations stretching from Michelin-starred restaurants to hidden cosy cafés, there’s something for every occasion. Keep up to date on pledging restaurants and all activity via @RegentStreetW1 and @stjameslondon.
