London's iconic Trocadero is being turned into one of the city's biggest Wetherspoons pubs
JD Wetherspoon plans to open its first pub in London’s Theatreland district. The new venue, Piccadilly Hall, will take over part of the former Trocadero and open at 30 Shaftesbury Avenue, previously home to the shuttered Coyote Ugly bar. The pub is named in tribute to the original Piccadilly/Pikadilly Hall, a 17th-century mansion that helped give Piccadilly Circus its name. The space will exceed 3,600 square feet and provide seating for 280 covers. It will operate daily from 7am to midnight, including breakfast service. The opening date has not been announced.
"JD Wetherspoon is set to open its first ever pub in London's Theatreland district, with a new West End mega-boozer taking over part of what was once the Trocadero. The pub will be known as Piccadilly Hall, named in tribute to the original Piccadilly/Pikadilly Hall - the 17th century mansion that gave its name to Piccadilly Circus. It will open at 30 Shaftesbury Avenue - most recently home to the now-shuttered Coyote Ugly bar."
"A launch date for the latest pub from the budget boozer chain has not yet been revealed, but what we do know is that the space will be over 3,600 square-feet and will fit 280 covers, and be open daily from 7am to midnight. Yes, they will be doing breakfast."
"This follows news that 'Spoons will be opening a new watering hole at Paddington Station. The proposed new pub will span 3,600 square-feet across two floors, including a mezzanine in the station's former ticket hall, with direct access to the Bakerloo line. It will join two other recently opened railway 'Spoons; Captain Flinders Wetherspoons at Euston and The Lion and The Unicorn at Waterloo."
"Earlier this year Westminster Council also granted Wetherspoons a license to operate a pub and restaurant on the Strand, right next to Charing Cross station."
