A brand-new restaurant and bar with some serious central London views is set to open. Kitty Hawk will be taking over the rooftop space at Page8 hotel on St Martin’s Place, which used to belong to the now-closed Japanese restaurant Bisushima. The sixth floor Bisushima site is 6,000 sq ft, with a separate bar area and two roof terraces, which directly overlook Trafalgar Square and Nelson’s Column, as well as a bit of Covent Garden. Not a bad part of London to gaze on at all, really.
