February saw the closure of several iconic London restaurants, including Whyte's, a pop-up known for its five-star rating, which shut after 15 months as the chef plans to tour. The historic Sam Smith's pub, which dates back to the 1830s, was also closed despite a preservation campaign. Other notable losses included the vegan eatery Club Mexicana and the Michelin-starred La Dame de Pic, which had served patrons at Tower Bridge for eight years. Meanwhile, some establishments also found new homes amid the shakeup.
