Legado: Michelin-starred Nieves Barragán to open new Spanish restaurant in Shoreditch
Legado, which means 'legacy', is next door to the new Singburi, while the Standard understands another big opening is planned nearby (we cannot say yet, but hold tight).
Barragán is best known for her Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant Sabor, a multi-floor restaurant that spans Spain's regional cuisine.
Legado, the Standard was told, 'is set to move beyond the familiar, allowing the wider ingredients, lesser-known dishes, regional culinary traditions and the Spanish artisans to take centre stage.'
The 60-cover restaurant – with a further 16 at the counter – will serve tapas and pintxos that shine a light on specific producers, ingredients and Spanish traditions.
Lamb, for example, will come from Lechazo de Castilla y León (an origin-protected producer), while suckling pig is to be sourced from the award-winning farm Tabladillo el Cochinillo in Segovia, a province north of Madrid,
Fish will be treated much the same, with a menu that traverses Spanish coastlines. Dishes are to include crystal Mediterranean prawns with smoked paprika and Moscatel vinegar, and confit lobster with chilli and garlic served on a base of thinly sliced potatoes. Both will come topped with a runny fried egg.
As for vegetarian dishes, the most interesting could be the 'Legado sandwich', made with Swiss chard, cecina, and smoked cheese fried in breadcrumbs, which Barragán remembers her grandmother making for her in the Basque region.
'Spain's food heritage is incredible and has rightly deserved recognition in London and globally,' she said.
'Its colours, tastes, and smells are rooted deeply within me. However, many dishes I love, I have never seen outside the country and want to bring them and even more to London.'
As for wines, diners should expect a 150-bin list celebrating Spanish vintages, and 'seasonally changing vegetable and fruit-based cocktails served chilled but without ice.' There will be three-sip drinks, short drinks being the fashion in London right now.
The restaurant will look Spanish and modern – think a colour palette of green, plaster pink and terracotta – with exposed brick, an open kitchen and lots of beautiful wood.
Legado opens on August 28, 1C Montacute Yards, 185-186 Shoreditch High Street, E1 6HU, jksrestaurants.com

Why Teens Are Talking About ‘Jet2 Holidays' Right Now
If you have teens in your life — or are just as chronically online as we are! — then you've probably heard, 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday!' repeatedly lately. Teens love repeating this phrase on TikTok and IRL, but no, it has nothing to do with promoting the airline company Jet2. Middle school teacher Mr. Lindsay, aka, the guru of all things teen slang, gave his weekly update on what kids are saying right now. Along with, 'I'm a Mommy' and 'Mamacita' from Love Island and Justin Bieber's, 'It's not clocking to you,' Mr. Lindsay quotes, 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday, where you can save £50 per person.' More from SheKnows New Research Says Smartphones Contribute to 'Detachment From Reality' in Kids - Yet 81% Have Them What? Why have teens locked in on this ad? It's actually just one of those random things, and the resulting videos are actually pretty funny. According to Know Your Meme, this phrase comes from a YouTube ad for a British airline. The ad, set to 'Hold My Hand' by Jess Glynne, features a British female voice saying the phrase Mr. Lindsay quotes. The sound went viral on TikTok, where teens started sharing videos of chaotic, underwhelming, dangerous, or stupid scenarios set to the sound. So far, 1.6 million videos have been made with this sound on TikTok. This one shows a teen opening the curtains of a hotel room to reveal a tiny window. Like this one, where a kid was hit in the face by a fish or this one, where an elephant grabbed a girl around the mouth. It's silly and funny, and we love it. 'Chances are if you have a social media account and you live in 2025 on planet Earth, you've heard my voice,' the voice actor behind the viral sound, Zoë Lister, said in a TikTok video, adding that she is 'in a permanent state of stupid joy, slight anxiety and overwhelm, and 'What the f— is going on?'' We can only imagine hearing your own voice all over social media and hearing teens repeat it in life too. This is just another silly teen slang trend, like meltmaxxing or 'holy airball.'

Birmingham mourns the death of native son Ozzy Osbourne
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Ozzy Osbourne's fans had sensed the end was near. At his final show just a few weeks ago, admirers watched the heavy metal icon perform while seated on a black throne and knew it would likely be the last time they saw the lead singer of Black Sabbath. He died Tuesday at age 76. So there was little surprise Wednesday as they made pilgrimages to sites around Birmingham, the city in central England where Osbourne grew up and the band was formed. Outside the Crown Pub, where Black Sabbath played its first gig, Daria DeBuono, 59, and Stephen Voland, 32, both from New York, described the bond the rockstar had with his fans during that farewell show at the city's Villa Park stadium. Even though he stayed seated throughout, the man nicknamed the Prince of Darkness reveled in the embrace of the crowd, they said. 'It's like that is what he was living for, that is what he was keeping himself alive for, was to have that final glorious moment of love,' DeBuono said. 'And being in the crowd you can just feel the love in the arena that day. It was just very emotional.' Voland completed her thought. 'When I was watching the show I told her, 'This is like a living memorial that he gets to enjoy,'' he said. 'All this hard work and everyone is here for him. I just felt like it was a cool thing not knowing that this was happening very soon after.' The original members of Black Sabbath reunited for the first time in 20 years on July 5 for what Osbourne said would be his final concert. Osbourne had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019. 'Let the madness begin!' he told the 42,000 fans packed into Villa Park as the show got underway. On Wednesday, Birmingham sites linked to Black Sabbath became magnets for fans of the band's front man, who built a second career as a star of the reality TV show 'The Osbournes.' They gathered around the bull in Birmingham New Street station, which was created for the 2022 Commonwealth Games and is known as Ozzy. And they trooped to a mural on Navigation Street that was painted in honor of Black Sabbath's farewell concert. 'He's one of us,' West Midlands region Mayor Richard Parker said at the mural. 'There is an enormous amount of pride — he was forged by this place and he put this place on the map, and everyone could relate to him.' But the biggest draw was the Black Sabbath bench, where fans can take selfies alongside life-size images of the four band members. The bench, which was unveiled on the Broad Street canal bridge in 2019, has been surrounded by tributes to Osbourne. 'I think it is so beautiful that he got to finish and do his wish before he finally passed,' said Matthew Caldwell, 36, of Stourbridge, just west of Birmingham. 'Very sad but incredible.'
