Located on Leicester Square, the venue will take over a five-storey building beside the Odeon cinema and will be home to 16 independent kitchens and three bars when it opens in December.
The flagship site will join Market Place’s growing portfolio of venues in the capital in St Paul’s, Vauxhall, Harrow and Peckham.
The venue, which was one home to home to Mexican-inspired brand Chiquito, will have a dedicated events room with a large screen that will show the biggest sports games and major cultural moments and private dining rooms will be available to hire. There will also be a weekly programme of events that will include comedy nights, live music and DJ sets.
“We started Market Place with one neighbourhood site in Peckham and in a few short years it has grown across the city,” says Blake Henderson, managing director at Market Place Food Halls.
“Leicester Square is the biggest leap forward yet. It is one of the most famous squares in the world and we are proud to bring our biggest Market Place yet right to the heart of the West End.
“This flagship is everything Market Place stands for. Incredible food, great drinks, live entertainment and a space where Londoners and visitors can celebrate together.”
Market Place Leicester Square will be located at 20-21 Leicester Square.
