New restaurant operator sought for Kensington Roof Gardens
The Grade II listed site dates to the 1930’s and was run by Richard Branson’s Virgin for 37 years, before closing in 2018 after struggling to make a profit.
Landlord CKL has jointly appointed P-Three and Cushman & Wakefield to find a tenant for the 14,511 sq ft space and 0.6 acre rooftop garden.
It says the vision is to create a ‘sunrise to sunset offer’ providing an ‘evolving experience’.
“The character, heritage and location of the space make it perfect for a high quality operator to create something quite unique,” says Thomas Rose, co-founder of P-Three.
"With the gardens as an integrated element of the overall experience, this is without doubt one of the best opportunities in Europe for a leisure operator.”
Under Virgin the site was home to the Babylon restaurant, which held two AA Rosettes.
