Dino’s Ristorante

Dino’s Ristorante, 117 Gloucester Road, Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London SW7, 2005 • Apparently the novelist Iris Murdoch used to dine here (Iris Murdoch as I Knew Her, A.N. Wilson, Arrow, 2004, p15). By 2008 it had become a Nandos but kept the long Dino’s Ristorante wall sign above it.
