Just in time for summer, a new canalside restaurant has opened in Hackney Wick.
Lanterna, at Fish Island, serves stone-baked pizza and is owner Declan Perkins' fifth London restaurant.
It follows The Lauriston in Victoria Park, The Regent in Islington, Clissord Park Tavern in Stoke Newington, and Luppolo in Wanstead.
He said: “We are a family-owned business with strong roots in Hackney, we are proud that our sites are not just great places to eat and drink but serve as community hubs too. Lanterna will be no different.
"We are delighted to be opening in this blossoming part of Hackney Wick, a stone’s throw from London Stadium, bringing with us our famous stone baked pizza as well as exciting new elements like our deli and weekend brunch.
"We look forward to Lanterna becoming a destination spot for Fish Island locals and those travelling from further afield to this vibrant and creative part of East London.”
Lanterna opened its doors on July 1, and will be offering 2 pizzas for £15 all month.
