Further details of Arcade Covent Garden announced

London-based food hall operator Arcade has revealed further details of its third outpost ahead of its launch in Covent Garden next month.

Opening on 15 May, the 12,000 sq ft, 385-cover site on Bedford Street will feature two standalone restaurants, a central dining area showcasing several Arcade brands, as well as a listening bar and café.

The latest outpost will offer a mix of F&B outlets, including a chef-led Greek-Cypriot taverna, a Mexican taqueria and New York and New Haven pizza joint Gracey’s from Grace Surman and James Woodley.

In addition, it will host a number of brands from its in-house incubator, Arcade Create, which includes south American chicken and steak grill Solis, North Indian fast food brand Hero, smashburger concept Manna and its first Studio Coffee site, which serves drinks such as black sesame latte, gochujang hot chocolate and chocolate orange negroni.  

Luke Farrell’s third Plaza Khao Gaeng will also be located within Arcade Covent Garden.

News of Arcade Covent Garden was first reported in July 2025 after planning permission documents showed it was taking over a former TGI Fridays restaurant that was once home to a 19th century department store.

Simon Allison, marketing director at Arcade, said: “The opening of Arcade Covent Garden is a defining moment for our brand. This isn’t just our third location – it’s a milestone in showcasing the full potential of what Arcade can be. Covent Garden, with its rich mix of history and modernity, feels like the perfect setting for this next chapter.  Expect bold new food brands, immersive design and an elevated guest experience that reflects the spirit of this iconic area.”

Arcade Food Hall originally opened on London’s Tottenham Court Road in 2019 but closed during the pandemic. It was relaunched with the backing of JKS Restaurants in 2022 and a second, 24,000 sq ft food hall opened at Battersea Power Station in 2023.
