Buvette opened on 4 June 2026 at 2 Neal’s Yard, WC2, Jody Williams returning to London after the Notting Hill chapter closed in 2024. The 80-seat gastrothèque takes the old St John Bakery, with a tin ceiling, a marble bar and an all-day carte of steamed eggs, coq au vin and tarte tatin. Hot Dinners had the date on 7 May. Condé Nast Traveller and Wallpaper* both filed the June room.
The little-known fact is the clock: Sunday to Wednesday 08:00–21:00, Thursday to Saturday 08:00–22:00, so the same door is breakfast, lunch and last-glass without changing the room. @buvettelondon is the live camera; buvette-london.com holds the book.
The yard is why you go; Neal’s Yard is why it feels like London.
