This week's new openings: Lussmanns Fish & Grill, Café Sou, Park Plaza London Waterloo and more

A look at the latest restaurants, hotels, pubs and bars to open their doors.

 

Lussmanns Fish & Grill
Independent restaurant group Lussmanns has opened its fifth restaurant, Lussmanns Fish & Grill, on Tring High Street in Hertfordshire. The restaurant occupies the site of ‘the Old Bank', originally built in 1922, and it is full of restored features. The restaurant is made up of a ground floor dining area with a window into the kitchen, a mezzanine with glass balcony, and a wood-panelled private dining room in the former bank manager's office.

 

A palette of colours by Farrow & Ball enhances the expansive vaulted ceiling, and British designer Neisha Crosland's vinyl parquet tiles complement the original herringbone wooden floor.

 

A mixture of marble, wood, leather and glass creates a contemporary feel, while the building's history is reflected in the art deco lamps and hand-painted wall graphics. The hotel also boasts a gallery of work by local artists, as well as a display of illustrations of cassowary birds loaned from the nearby Natural History Museum at Tring.
