"Vegan Mexican restaurant Club Mexicana has closed the doors to its Kingly Court restaurant after six years. In an Instagram post, the famously hot pink resto announced it had served its last tofish taco on February 7. Owner Meriel Armitage said the restaurant wasn't closing its Carnaby Street location because of a lack of success, but because the landlords want to redevelop the building."
"'We are not closing this site because it doesn't work - it very much does! We are always packed and it's been a fantastic, buzzy, always full restaurant,' the post said. It added: 'But the landlord has decided to make some big changes to Kingly and a big redevelopment plan is about to begin there. It will be a different Kingly Court but places change and we all keep on moving.'"
Club Mexicana has closed its Kingly Court restaurant after six years, serving its last tofish taco on February 7. Owner Meriel Armitage said the Carnaby Street site closed because the landlord plans a major redevelopment, not due to business failure, and described the venue as consistently busy and buzzy. The meat-free Mexican brand began as a festival stall and supper club, opening its first permanent Kingly Court location in 2020. The mini chain will keep food hall-style venues at Market Place Leicester Square, Boxhall City and Mercato Mayfair open. New Club Mexicana venues are planned, with details to be announced.
