Finally, after more than three years of delays and a couple of ripped up budgets, the Elizabeth Line is set to open this month. This new purple squiggle on the TfL map will mean we can zip from Paddington to Canary Wharf in just 17 minutes (half the current time) and, when the next sections open in autumn, from Tottenham Court Road to Ealing Broadway in just 13 (down from 28).
These super-fast connections will open up a whole new world of dining opportunities and put underappreciated restaurants in far-flung locations on the proverbial map. These are the five places you need to discover.
Allegra
Nearest station: Stratford
With its own wildflower meadow suspended seven floors in the air in a swanky hotel, Allegra is a restaurant worth travelling for.
It sits within The Stratford, a five-star glass tower of a hotel overlooking the Olympic Park.
