New Vietnamese concept Lai Rai channels the rhythm of Saigon street food with a distinctly youthful South London pulse...

Designed by spatial studio house of baby, the interiors blend the gloss and utility of retro Vietnamese cafés with a buttery palette and red-glow lighting. Upstairs, a halo-lit space with long tables encourages group dinners that melt into late-night hangs.

Experimental but grounded, fast-paced but warm, Lai Rai brings the buzz of late nights and early mornings into one space; the collaborative project from a stellar team of young creatives set to bring something entirely new to this hip corner of South London.
