TGI Fridays has shut down its flagship Leicester Square branch, despite plans to retain the site following a rescue takeover last year.
Ribs, steak and milkshake venue TGI Fridays has been left without any sites in central London as a result of the closure, which was first reported by Propel.
Breal Capital and Calveton took control of TGI Fridays out of administration in October through a £9.55 million deal.
The Leicester Square branch was slated at the time to be among 51 of 87 of its sites across the country to remain open.
Some £3.5 million was invested in opening the branch, dubbed the “Fridays jewel in London’s crown” at the time in late 2015.
