💨 Abstract

London is experiencing a rise in late-night dining, with several restaurants extending their hours. Noodle & Beer in Chinatown stays open until 4 AM on select nights, while 27 Old Compton Street serves pasta until midnight or later. Owners cite the trend of hybrid office workers and a desire to attract a younger, international crowd. Restaurants are offering discounts to encourage late-night dining, but face challenges like licensing and thin margins.
