Urban Pub and Bars acquires three London venues

Urban Pub and Bars has furthered its growth plans through the acquisition of three new venues in “iconic” London locations, bringing the total sites in its portfolio to 40. 

The three new acquisitions, the Queens Head, formerly the Goose Island site in Shoreditch, Monarchy in Camden town and The Horseshoe in Hampstead were described by the group as “already destination venues in their own right”. 

The additions to the portfolio are all located in popular areas that the group had previously identified, adding to existing locations in areas such as Soho, Highgate, Fitzrovia and Kensal Green, amongst others.

Nick Pring, co-founder of Urban Pubs and Bars said: “We have been looking at these sites for some time and are delighted to further increase our presence in these attractive locations in East and North London.”

Joint co-founder Malc Heap added: “We are excited to enter this new phase of expansion with the acquisition of these three iconic venues, their positions are a natural fit with our existing portfolio and we look forward to welcoming their amazing people to the Urban family.”
