  • Restaurant Closures in London

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 22 February 2024
    Last month, you welcomed new data showing London's 'world beating' hospitality industry defied all expectations in 2023. But there's one caveat you failed to address. You were full of praise for the 250 new restaurant/pub openings in London last year. But data we have suggests more than double that have shut down. Therefore, the net number of restaurant/pub openings in London is in fact down under your watch. Is that a 'world beating' hospitality industry and what are you doing in your budget to reflect that?
