Numerous restaurants and bars shut down during the summer of 2025, including Bruno's in Islington, which was known for its Starliner Martini but is now closed. Chick 'n' Sours closed its last two locations in London despite its popularity for crispy chicken and cocktails. Norman's, a greasy spoon that opened in 2020, also closed in June. Lyle's in Shoreditch was another significant closing, having earned a Michelin star for its cuisine over 11 years. The closures mark a significant shift in the London dining scene.
