4. Check out Eccleston Yard’s hottest new addition
Open now
Eccleston Yards’ status as one of London’s best hidden gems is in peril once again following the opening of the latest venture from Amie founders Abbie Roden and Will Sandbach. Weezie’s, tucked right beside the cult wine bar, is the neighbourhood’s most exciting all-day dining destination serving thin-crust pizzas, small plates and pints, wine and tangy spritzes aplenty. Bringing big pizza credentials to the new site is Sumant Sinai, previously of Circus Pizza at Panzer’s, who’s dishing up crispy slices generously topped with rich sobrasada, charred creamed sweetcorn, teardrop peppers and hot honey drizzles.
