The year ahead: trends set to define 2022

It’s the beginning of a new year, and lo and behold we wanted to get a feel for what lies ahead in 2022. So we went to our writers and asked them what they think the major trends in culture, travel and city life will be. Our art critic says this might be the year NFTs become actually good, while our music man reckons ABBA’s virtual concerts could change the face of live music. Parks and pedestrians are the priority for cities around the world, says our expert. And train travel is definitely, definitely going to be on your 2022 bucket list, according to one rail-mad writer.

Three punchy restaurants for Veganuary

	Angela Hui Food & Drink Writer @Angela_Hui

	Copita Neatly sidesteps the tapas clichés in favour of less familiar ideas, and there are always at least a dozen veggie items on the menu. The flavours are big and often unexpected: satisfy your vegan cravings with a plate of runner beans, olives, citrus and pumpkin seeds or grilled courgette and artichoke with tahini.

	Fatt Pundit Indo-Chinese fusion restaurant has proper vegged out with its dedicated vegan menu. Eat your way through steamed momo dumplings (spinach, mushroom, courgette and tofu⁣), popcorn cauliflower served with a garlic soy dip⁣ and crispy salt and pepper okra.

	Itadaki Zen Japanese, vegan and organic? What’s not to love – and, rest assured, we do love this cool little miracle near King’s Cross station. Only the slurping of udon noodles disturbs the Zen-like tranquillity, as punters dip into a virtuously healthy menu that makes the most of a few key ingredients.
