D&D London is to open a 10,000 square foot restaurant at Nova, Victoria – the heart of Land Securities’ continued transformation of Victoria in London’s West End.
The restaurant is set to open in autumn 2016, forming part of the new Nova restaurant quarter in SW1. Nova is the most significant development in Land Securities’ re-invention of Victoria. When completed, Nova will be a bold and aspirational place to work, live, eat, drink, shop and enjoy.
The restaurant will be housed over two floors of the Nova South building on Victoria Street, SW1, adjacent to the Victoria Palace Theatre. It will comprise a café, bar, outdoor terrace and food retail on the ground floor, together with a restaurant on the first floor. The interior is to be designed by Russell Sage Studio who designed D&D’s recently re-launched Quaglino’s and Avenue restaurants.
Keen to be part of Victoria
Des Gunewardena; Chairman and CEO of D&D commented: “10 years ago Victoria was not a part of Central London in which we were keen to open restaurants. But this has changed. We think Victoria is becoming one of the most desirable parts of Central London to live, work and eat out, and we are keen to be part of that scene, typified by Nova.”
Justin Black, Land Securities Development Director for Nova, Victoria, added: “Nothing of Nova’s scale and potential has been delivered in this part of the West End before. We’re incredibly pleased to be welcoming D&D London to the stable of 18 exciting names that will deliver London’s newest and most exciting restaurant quarter in 18 months. Knowing the pedigree of restaurants that D&D creates, we’re excited that Victoria will play host to their next dining concept.”
