NEW OPENING: Little Door & Co announces fifth site
House-party inspired late night bar and restaurant concept, Little Door & Co., will open its fifth site on Kingly Street in June.
The Little Violet Door is the group’s second central London site, joining The Little Scarlet Door in Soho and neighbourhood locations: The Little Yellow Door (Notting Hill), The Little Blue Door (Fulham) and The Little Orange Door (Clapham). Once open, the group will pass over 150 employees and will be on course to deliver a turnover of £12m for 2024.
Within Shaftesbury Capital’s Soho neighbourhood, the 3,400 sq ft, 180-capacity site at 9 Kingly Street - formerly legendary music venue Bag O’ Nails frequented by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Paul McCartney and Pete Townshend - is spread over two floors with additional terrace seating out front.
The West End fictional flat has been brought to live by Behind the Doors Design and showcases the distinctive lived-in feel firmly associated with the Little Door & Co. brand. Each area has been designed to transport guests to a real-life home with colourful soft furnishings, prints, bookcases and record collections. Additional touches pay homage to the birthplace of Swinging London in the 1960s with references to both music and fashion throughout the 70’s and 80’s.
The ground floor houses a relaxed sitting room and a vinyl bar, whilst downstairs has been designed with flat parties in mind. At the very heart of venue is the kitchen disco, where DJs will provide a house party vibe straight from the kitchen counter from Wednesday through to Saturday. Additional lower ground floor rooms including a living room, laundry room and a games room complete with retro video game consoles and cocktail bar.
The cocktails, inspired by the flat’s DVD collection, are served in miscellaneous household objects such as vases and trophies with sharers in giant disco balls. Unlike its sister sites, The Little Violet Door will trade from noon daily seven days a week with a menu of sharing dishes including tacos and mezze boards, whilst the Little Door & Co’s. signature bottomless brunch will be available every weekend.
Co-Founder and Director Kamran Dehdashti comments: “Following the success of The Little Scarlet Door, our ambition has always been to grow our footprint in central London. From hosting our first pop-up ten years ago, our fifth site is a real milestone.”
Co-Founder and Director Jamie Hazeel adds: “The Little Violet Door takes us back to our British heritage and the iconic history of Kingly Street perfectly aligns with our vision. We can’t wait to bring a new era of the flat party to the space with the ultimate kitchen disco”.
