New Zealand-born, London-based entrepreneur Melanie Brown is to open a neighbourhood bistro and wine shop called The Laundry in Brixton this autumn.

Maremma, a new neighbourhood Italian restaurant, will launch in Brixton next month, proffering dishes and wines from the coastal Tuscan region from which it takes its name.

With an elating playlist and flavour-packed dishes, Peckham’s Levan, the sister site of Salon in Brixton, offers a window onto France’s increasingly en vogue Jura region.
