There’s a reason so many travel and review sites have a “sort by newly opened” feature—for discerning urbanites with great taste, there’s nothing like discovering the newest, early. Enter Just Opened London—it’s exactly as advertised, reviewing the latest in the food, culture and health worlds. Just in time for London Fashion Week, Editor, Adam Bloodworth shares their hit-list of places to go and feeds to follow.

For us at Just Opened London, merely being new isn’t enough. We publish news on places with influence—we want to know who’s behind it, what they’ve done before, why they chose to open up in a certain space. It has been our focus since we launched in 2013. We use Instagram in the same way, seeking out remarkable things about the people who make our city. They see things in a way we’d never be able to.

There are blow-out bars, and there are nail salons. Dryby bridges the two in an understated, considered studio. (There are still appointments left during Fashion Week…)

@garconjon

A London photographer with a penchant for bearded men! Pryce’s images are stylistic without compromising the closer look and with this, we get a real sense of the people behind his shots.

Such low-key photos, you may not know immediately that Martha Ward dresses actors for the red carpet and styles major ads. She has a thing for mixing high-luxury labels with high street.

@missunderground

A novel, straightforward tribute to the Underground, she manages to get us feeling all sentimental about the mechanical underbelly of our city.

Photos of her high-end fashion adverts and glossy covers are tempered with humourous captions and tons of emojis.

Art and fashion collide in her work (she has a knack for recognizing emerging design talent) and her personal style. She’s a wiz at mixing prints and having fun.

Sure, the streets are lined with stunning flats, but South Kensington’s long been a bastion of understated luxury and privacy. No wonder the best new member’s only club just opened there, focusing on fitness.

Kelly Eastwood is really good at having fun. Like, really good, whether she’s trying on ballgowns in bare feet or playing on the beach with her equally stylish crew. As she once posted, “the great souls among us continue to desire and strive”
