Urban Pubs & Bars, an independent operator, has acquired five new venues in London as part of its ongoing growth strategy.
Chris Hill, managing director of Urban Pubs & Bars, said: “Well-run, well-positioned businesses are thriving in the capital.
“We’re seeing robust demand across our estate and strong like-for-like growth, which gives us the confidence to keep investing.
“These latest acquisitions are exactly the kind of sites we look for, and we’re excited about the opportunities they present as we continue to grow our London estate.”
The newly acquired venues include The Prince Regent in Herne Hill and four sites from Brunning & Price:
The Roebuck and The Steam Packet in Chiswick, The Queens in Crouch End and Coco Momo in Kensington.
The deals will complete on January 19.
With these latest additions, Urban Pubs & Bars now operates 65 venues across London.
The group generates annual sales of more than £100 million.
The expansion follows a period of sustained growth for the company, which has included multiple openings and acquisitions during 2025.
It follows the recent acquisition of Albion & East.
Urban Pubs & Bars describes itself as “London’s leading independent pub group.”
Mr Hill said: “We’re excited about the opportunities they present as we continue to grow our London estate.”
