Loungers to open first central London site

Loungers will open its first central London Cosy Club this summer, taking a unit at Westfield Stratford City. 

The former TGI Fridays site marks a significant step in the group’s expansion strategy, as it continues to introduce its new Cosy Club format across the UK.

Loungers says its Stratford site will present the latest iteration of Cosy Club’s interiors, which incorporate one-off elements created in partnership with UK makers and specialists, including custom metalwork, lighting, wallpapers and carpets.

"Following the success of our new Cosy Clubs across the country, bringing it to London feels like a natural and incredibly exciting next step," says Lucy Knowles, managing director of Cosy Club. "Westfield Stratford City is a vibrant, energetic destination and the perfect place to introduce our Cosy way of celebrating and bringing people together, where everyone gets to feel a little bit special.

"Our ambition with the refreshed design is to create spaces that drive strong all day trading, encourage longer dwell times and deliver a consistently high quality guest experience. We’ve seen this approach resonate strongly in our recent openings, and we believe the Stratford site will build on that momentum.

"We’re creating a space that feels glamorous, indulgent and always welcoming. We’re everyone’s club, where you can slip into for brunch, gather for cocktails, or lose track of time over long, lazy dinners. London has its fair share of dining options, but we believe there’s room for something that brings people together in a way that’s joyful, playful, and just a little bit unexpected." 

Cosy Club Westfield Stratford City will trade from breakfast through to late evening.
