"Westerns Laundry, a seafood restaurant in a converted garage in Islington, is a beautiful open space that feels very Grand Designs. So much so that you half expect Kevin McCloud to walk out and start one of his long, meandering monologues, rhapsodising about how eating oysters in a converted garage is the perfect example of nature and machine working in harmony. That probably won’t happen. Nevertheless, this is still one of London’s best summertime restaurants. Think foliage and fresh air, and lots of shady spots on the fairy light-strewn terrace.
