All your meaty dreams have come true, because Flat Iron\u00a0has just announced plans for\u00a0its first ever restaurant down south. For all the pedants out there, we\u2019re not counting their London Bridge, Southbank, and Waterloo branches, which are merely south of the river rather than in south London proper.<\/p>\n<p>Flat Iron will open in Clapham Old Town late in 2026, so you still have a fair few months to wait for your \u00a315 steak, but when it does launch there will be 130 covers (including on an outdoor terrace), meaning that it won\u2019t be too difficult to secure a table.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Clapham branch will join Flat Iron\u2019s 16 London restaurants, which span Soho, Spitalfields, Marylebone, Kings Cross and Hammersmith. The most recent new opening was in Piccadilly, and Flat Iron restaurants are soon coming to Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool as well as the first Scottish Flat Iron in Glasgow.<\/p>\n<p>Flat Iron\u2019s \u2018Head of Beef\u2019 Fred Smith, is local to Clapham, so is rather excited about the new restaurant. \u2018Opening a restaurant in Clapham, my home, will be special,\u2019 he says. \u2018I grew up in the area and witnessed firsthand the evolution of the high street. Many years ago, there was a butcher\u2019s shop (Moens, now a few doors down) on this site that my family would visit regularly, so to be bringing the beef back has extra meaning.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Flat Iron Clapham will open at 18-19 The Pavement, SW4 0HY, later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Did you see that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/london\/news\/this-beloved-south-london-bakery-is-opening-a-new-location-051426\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this beloved south London bakery is opening a new location<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Plus: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/london\/news\/the-london-distillery-that-has-opened-its-own-bar-serving-the-citys-biggest-old-fashioned-menu-051426\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a south\u00a0London distillery has opened its own bar \u2013 and it serves the city\u2019s biggest old fashioned menu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Get the latest and greatest from the Big Smoke \u2013 from news and reviews to events and trends.
