      <description><![CDATA[Westminster City Council (WCC) has insisted it is not planning to ban people from standing with a drink in Soho pubs, after headlines claimed the authority wanted to stop ‘vertical drinking’ as part of a new licensing policy. The council has sought to clarify its position after sections of its Draft Statement of Licensing Policy 2026 that recommend discouraging ‘excessive drunkenness’ and encouraging more seating in licensed premises were deemed to be anti-business. The policy, which covers Soho and the West End, states that venues should ‘encourage the provision of more seating in premises that serve alcohol for people to sit and enjoy a drink and order food by table service in place of open bar space that caters for high-volume vertical drinking.’]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[A wave of brands making their UK debuts and the closure of Norwich’s only Michelin-star restaurant are among this week’s top news stories. Time Out Market will finally make its UK debut, with its first location opening at The Crown Estate’s landmark 10 Piccadilly development in London’s West End in the first half of 2028. Spanning 26,400sq ft across three floors of the Grade II-listed 55 Regent Street building, the venue will bring together around 15 restaurants, bars and food concepts, showcasing a mix of established names and up-and-coming operators. The opening marks a significant milestone for the Time Out brand, which was founded in London in 1968 and has since expanded its market concept to 13 locations across nine countries. It also brings to an end a long search for a London home, following rejected plans near Spitalfields in 2016 and plans for Waterloo which were shelved in 2021. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Viral chopped salad wrap brand CZER has secured a second London location following the success of its original Mayfair site. The new site, on Brewer Street in Soho, close to Piccadilly Circus, has been secured for an initial six-month period as founders Mairi Livsey and Marius Baltaitis test whether there is sufficient demand to scale the concept long term. CZER is expected to have the site up and running within two weeks, mirroring the rapid launch of its original location, which opened just a month after Livsey and Baltaitis first teased the concept on social media.]]></description>
