Legado: Michelin-starred Nieves Barragán to open new Spanish restaurant in Shoreditch
The latest high-profile restaurant to open in the new Shoreditch development under the Overground line is Legado, a new Spanish concept from Nieves Barragán Mohacho and JKS Restaurants. 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,

'Too Much' London And Brooklyn Filming Locations: The Restaurants, Pubs And Areas You Can Actually Visit
Lena Dunham's latest rom-com offering, Too Much, has a lot going on; from leads Jess (Megan Stalter) and Felix's (Will Sharpe) messy love affair, her toxic relationship with her ex's new fiancé (ELLE UK's cover star, Emily Ratajkowski) a bursting-at-the-seams celebrity cameo list (Jessica Alba, Andrew Scott, Kit Harington, Alix Earle and more). While you may have found yourself wrapped up in the drama of it all, one of the show's main components is its many locations. As the series sees Jess move to London, the city takes centre stage, with many well-known boroughs, pubs and restaurants featuring throughout the series. Below, we detail all of the exact filming locations seen throughout the 10-part series. At the beginning of the series, Jess's expectations of London and where she'll be living almost immediately falter when she quickly realises that she'll be living in a housing estate rather than a large aristocratic countryside home. The interior and exterior for her flat was filmed in a flat on St Peter's Estate in Hackney. Shoreditch's town hall doubled as the location for Jess's visit to the hospital after accidentally setting herself on fire and the vet where her dog Astrid was treated. After facing disappointment due to the reality of her less-than-glamorous living situation and surroundings in London, a level of hope is restored for Jess in the eighth episode when she accompanies Felix and his friends to a wedding at a country house estate. The wedding was filmed at Englefield Estate in west Berkshire. Throughout the series, observant restaurant-goers will have noticed that the show features a number of restaurants based in and outside of London. Frizzante at Hackney City Farm, The Ivy House in Nunhead and The Ivy Richmond Brasserie all make appearances. While searching for a location to film the agency's Christmas ad, Jess and her co-workers find themselves in the scenic village of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire, along with Andrew Scott's pompous director. While at a pub called The Royal Standard in Beaconsfield, Jess has an awkward drink with Scott's director. Once again, Jess finds a moment to escape the realities of London and takes a trip to Notting Hill to see the area where the titular movie was filmed. In one scene, Jess poses outside 280 Westbourne Park Road as Felix takes a picture of her. On two occasions, we see Felix play gigs alongside his band: one in a flashback and the latter in present day. The former takes place at a record and book shop called Dash The Henge in Camberwell. The venue was inspired by Lena's husband, Felix, who has previously played several gigs there in the past. Felix's second gig in the series takes place at the fictional Hackney 'DonkeyFest', which actually takes place at Hackney City Farm. He plays with his band as Jess and the Pollys (three of Felix's close female friends) look on and get to know Jess. During a flashback, we see Jess's awkward run in with her ex-boyfriend Zev and his new fiancé, Wendy. The encounter takes place at Cuppa Hive Coffee, Brooklyn. After many privately recorded video messages to Wendy later, Jess finally meets her Zev's new fiancé in the final episode. The pair meet for a coffee, at a family-owned restaurant called Chambers, near Victoria Park. As another flashback takes place, we see how Jess and her then boyfriend Zev came to be. The pair first met at Alligator Lounge in Brooklyn, a well-known bar where guests can buy budget friendly drinks alongside free pizza.

Samie Elishi shows ex Sam Thompson what he's missing as she poses for sultry snaps in a thong bikini during Bali getaway
Samie Elishi showed ex Sam Thompson what he's missing as she posed for sultry bikini snaps on Monday. The Love Island star, 25, flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in a colourful skimpy two-piece during her Bali getaway. Samie had a matching cover-up on her daybed while sunbathing and accessorised with stylish sunglasses. The influencer went make-up free for the Instagram pictures, which saw her sprawled out on all fours. It comes after the pair reunited just weeks after splitting, as they were seen attending Rehab's Rooftop Spa launch party. Last month, a source revealed the pair had ended their two-month romance after things 'fizzled out' between them. But in footage obtained by MailOnline, Sam and Samie could be seen chatting at the bash alongside his former Made In Chelsea co-star Lucy Watson in London's Shoreditch House, hinting the pair's romance could be back on. The pair joined a slew of stars, including Stacey Solomon and Mel C, at the party, which celebrated the release of the REHAB Retreat Range, their first body care collection. A source revealed: 'Sam was in good spirits as he caught up with Samie at the rehab event. They were queuing for drinks and they were chatting away. 'He gently stroked her arm to make sure she had a drink and the pair were laughing away with Lucy Watson and her partner. 'Samie was never far away from Sam during the party where Mel C performed an incredible set and everyone was dancing. 'Sam and Samie chatted away to other guests but kept making their way back to one another before eventually leaving at the same time.' Just hours before attending the party, Samie revealed on Snapchat she was heading to the event before jetting to Bali for a girls trip the following day. Sam, 32, started dating Samie famed for her appearances on Love Island, in April and the couple were later spotted passionately kissing after attending Olivia Attwood 's birthday party. It was Sam's first public relationship since his separation from girlfriend of five years Zara McDermott, 28, who is now with former One Direction singer, Louis Tomlinson . A source confirmed that the pair decided against taking their romance any further due to their busy work schedules, which in recent weeks has seen Sam raise over £1.6million for charity UNICEF after he conquered a 260-mile endurance challenge. The former I'm A Celeb winner said taking part in the mammoth task, where he transported the Soccer Aid match ball from London's Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford in Manchester, gave him the focus he needed to overcome a difficult start to 2025. Meanwhile, Samie, who Sam had introduced to close friend and Staying Relevant co-host Pete Wicks , has been jet setting with various brands following her stint on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year, including to Mykonos, Greece , with Space NK. A source told MailOnline: 'Sam and Samie's romance just fizzled out, there was so much attraction between them initially, but their busy schedules made it difficult for them to spend quality time together. 'For Sam, it was his first relationship since his split from Zara and the feeling is he would rather concentrate on work before getting into another long-term commitment.' Last week, Sam admitted that he is 'not ready' to date again, telling pal Pete on his podcast Staying Relevant : 'Louise thinks I should go out with Emma Watson , who plays Hermione Granger in Harry Potter '. Laughing, Pete replied: 'I think you have more chance with the ginger fella'. 'Ron! No, Louise thinks I should go for British thespian because she thinks its a little different, classy is the wrong word, but well to do', Sam added. Pete joked: 'Opposites attract, she wants you to go out with someone opposite to even you out.' Confirming he won't be dating for a while, Sam bluntly confirmed: 'No, I'm going to work on myself. No dating, I'm not ready and I've realised that'. MailOnline revealed Sam and Zara split following five years together on New Year's Day after the couple spent the festive season apart. Zara had grown especially close to her ex-boyfriend's family given Louise, her fiancé Ryan and son Leo, three, live next door to Sam in west London. The former Love Island star turned documentary maker was first spotted with singer Louis in March and the couple have since holidayed together in Los Angeles and Costa Rica. Sam and Louis both played in this month's Soccer Aid despite obvious tensions around their dating lives. Footage of Louis appearing to snub Sam circulated on TikTok after the former boy band star grimaced and ignored the Chelsea favourite once the match had ended. After achieving his UNICEF challenge, Sam reflected: 'I have never been so low but also so high at the same time... One of the things that I will say is that mentally I don't think there was a better time for me to do that. 'On Thursday, I left a lot on that road, I left a lot there and it was one of the most mentally freeing times I've ever had in my entire life. 'We rode and ran for the longest duration, all the way down the Welsh border and we finished in Liverpool, you know I'm a bit of a talker, but it was so hard, you just had to channel something. 'I left a lot of the year that I've had on that road, and I didn't speak for an hour and a half. I was riding the bike while crying for an hour and a half just tears streaming down my face just riding like I have never ridden before. 'I have never felt so emotionally depleted but also at peace.'

Sam Thompson breaks silence on bumping into ex Samie Elishi after pair are spotted at event
SAM Thompson has broken his silence on his recent reunion with Love Island star ex Samie Elishi. The pair were seen hanging out at Shoreditch House in London last week for a REHAB hair event - just weeks after breaking up. 5 5 Now, Sam, 32, has spoken about their catch up on the latest edition of his Staying Relevant podcast with best pal Pete Wicks. Opening up about their night out, he said: "I'm going to be honest with you, really lovely. And yeah, actually, just spent a lot of time having a chat, having a chinwag just such an epic chat." He joked that Samie actually cared more about Pete than him, adding: "She loves you. She did ask about you. She seemed to care more about you than me really." Sam then rubbished claims they went home together, continuing: "It was a lovely moment actually just sort of saying 'hello'." Having gone through two splits in quick succession, Sam is now taking time to focus on himself. He recently said: "I'm going to work on myself, no dating. I'm not ready. I realised that." His night out at celeb hotspot Shoreditch House had a relaxed vibe and featured Spice Girl Mel C on the DJ decks. Sam was also seen chatting away to his former Made In Chelsea co-stars Lucy Watson and her husband James Dunmore. It was at this point that Samie popped over to say hello and they shared a warm hug. Samie looked stylish in a black crop top and jeans and had her REHAB goody bag slung over her shoulder. Sam Thompson breaks his silence on Samie Elishi split as he opens up on love life We revealed why the couple decided to call it a day, with a source telling us: "It was a mutual thing and there is no bad blood between them. "They both just have really busy schedules, particularly Sam who has been non-stop recently, and it was really hard to make it work. They're still good mates. "It's a shame, but sometimes things just don't work out." Sam and Samie confirmed they were dating in early May when they were spotted sharing a steamy kiss outside Olivia Attwood's 34th birthday bash. While the pair didn't share their relationship on social media, Sam did praise Samie on his podcast. Grilled by Pete in a past episode of the podcast, Sam was relatively tight-lipped but said: "What I will say though, really awesome chick. You met her that night. "Really, really lovely. Super down to earth, super nice, beautiful, obviously." 5 5 5
