How to have an Australian weekend in London

  • From Spectator Life

The news that Australia’s borders could remain closed until 2024 will be a blow to anyone hoping for a trip down under after lockdown. If you can’t wait that long (and fingers crossed you won’t have to) here’s our guide to having an Australian themed weekend here in London.

Though London’s Aussie population has shrunk in recent years, the standard of Antipodean cuisine has been very much on the rise – not that we’re alleging any correlation there, of course.

Leading the charge has been Daisy Green, a collection of Australian-run restaurants managing to gain a foothold in London’s already crowded brunch market with their inspired take on Melbourne and Sydney cafe culture.

Having expanded rapidly in the past few years, they’ve wasted no time in reopening this spring, with eight outlets taking bookings for outdoor dining. Over at their new Paddington restaurant, you can even get your hands on a farm-to-table Sunday roast.
