When London restaurant reservations open
Observed release times for 8 of the 9 London restaurants we watch, and how far ahead they book.
- 8 learned schedules
- Observed, London time
- What the times are
- The time of day new dates first appeared on the booking calendar, in London time, over the last 90 days.
- Published or observed
- Observed by us. A restaurant's own stated rule can differ; its guide on Table Alert gives the published one.
Observed release times
Each row is a London restaurant where new dates appeared at a steady time, on at least three separate days.
Observed by Table Alert: the time new dates appeared on the booking calendar, local time. The pattern is learned over our full history of a restaurant (up to 16 months), so 'Releases seen' can exceed 90. A restaurant's published rule may differ; the restaurant guide says which. Restaurants we monitor in full (every party size, every date, every day).

Proprietary data: Table Alert checks each restaurant's public booking calendar around the clock; these figures cover the last 90 days, through November 11, 2026, vouched restaurants only, and are refreshed every night.
How to read the times
We see a new date when one of our checks does, so the real release is at or shortly before the time shown. Be on the booking page a few minutes early.
Four steady times are observed in the small hours. As of November 11, 2026, Bouchon Racine appears around midnight, Akara, The Foyer & Reading Room and Impala around 3:05 AM, and Ikoyi around 2:05 AM (the clocks changed on 25 October; a fixed UTC release reads an hour earlier since). Sushi Tetsu is weekly, on Mondays around midday.
A date that appears overnight is often still there at breakfast, because the typical London table lasts hours. An alert beats an alarm clock.
Restaurants not in the table
A restaurant stays out of the table until we have seen at least three releases, so a new or irregular schedule can be missing. Humble Chicken shows no fixed time in our data: its tables appear at no fixed time in our data.
The times describe the public calendar. A restaurant that takes bookings by phone or email has no release for us to see.

Lifesaver service for booking difficult reservations
“Been looking for something like this for years, so glad I finally found it. It actually works — I just set up my alerts and wait for them to ping me. Already more than paid for itself with the couple of reservations I’ve managed to get this month alone.”

Table Alert is great!!

FAQ
When London restaurant reservations open: questions people ask
It differs by restaurant. Among those with a steady pattern we observe times from midnight to the middle of the day, London time, and several in the small hours. The table above lists each one.
No. They are the times we observed new dates appearing on the public calendar. The restaurant's own published rule, if it has one, is on its guide page and may differ from what we saw.
Either its tables appear at no fixed time in our data, or we have not yet seen three releases. Alerts suit these better than a clock.
The table's how-far-ahead column shows how many days out the calendar reached when we last read it. It runs from under two weeks at Sushi Tetsu to about three months at CORE by Clare Smyth.
We check each calendar around the clock and note when a new date first appears. A time that repeats on at least three days becomes the restaurant's observed schedule, shown in local time.
No. Table Alert alerts you the moment a table appears, and you book it yourself on the restaurant's booking page. We never book, hold or resell reservations.
No alert within your first 30 days? Cancel and send us an email. We'll refund you in full — no questions asked.
Yes. Cancel from your account settings at any time. You'll keep access until your subscription expires.
