"What do you give the person who has everything? Why, your own dodgy and self-indulgent pottery of course. We’re joking, hehe ho ho ho. On Tuesday December 14th, DIY pottery legends Sculpd are taking over Caravan in Fitzrovia for a night of smokey negronis, pottery wheel antics, and music from their in-house DJ. You’ll get the chance to craft your own vases and candlestick holders, as well as a goodie bag with paints and extra clay so you can carry on the fun at home. Spaces are limited, so grab your tickets here. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"At the Virgo Supperclub’s backyard-style pop-up I fell for the $14 'slutty jook' — Koshikari rice in a ginger-chili broth with scallion-ginger jam, topped with fried shallots, kimchi, cilantro, and bright edible flowers, plus crunchy bits that keep the porridge from becoming too gruel-y; I took it vegan but added toasted black sesame and curry miso, and every unctuous spoonful was addictive, paired nicely with a $12 Lady Grey Ginger cocktail available booze-free." - Eater Staff

"An Antipodean coffee roaster and all-day restaurant chain has opened its fifth London site inside the former BBC Radio 1 recording studios on Great Portland Street in Fitzrovia. The spacious, attractive venue seats around 100–120 covers and embraces the building’s musical heritage with a dedicated “record room” and a downstairs private dining room where DJ Zane Lowe recorded sessions; one booth is plaque-marked as the spot where the late John Peel recorded his final show. Founded by Laura Harper-Hinton, Chris Ammermann and Miles Kirby, the group has expanded to five London locations in eight years and is known for considered, inventive yet accessible plates alongside a trend-aware drinks program (including cold-brewed teas, kombucha and shrubs). While sticking to a tried-and-tested all-day model, the new Fitzrovia branch’s main innovation is a new 'To Go' takeaway wing aimed at broadening its offer in the neighbourhood." - Adam Coghlan
"An internal test-run of a grab-and-go concept from a well-known London speciality-coffee operator, launching at an upcoming Fitzrovia site to explore whether a to‑go format can complement its sit‑down restaurants. The offering pairs the operator’s high‑quality speciality coffee with its inventive all‑day food — with patisserie and made‑to‑order sandwiches front and centre and easy-to-scale dishes such as daal, soup and a chicken-and-rice option — designed to be suitable for takeaway volume without compromising quality. Founders Laura Harper-Hinton, Miles Kirby and Chris Ammermann acknowledge the core tension between speed and crafted coffee: the plan is to use batch-brew and single‑serve filter adjustments to maintain coffee quality while deploying automation (auto-shutoff thermometers for steamers or volumetric milk dispensers) to speed up milk‑based drinks. If the Fitzrovia trial proves successful, it will act as a dress rehearsal for potential standalone outlets in the grab-and-go market." - James Hansen
