La Langosteria Takes London by Storm

Located within the prestigious The OWO—the former Old War Office where Winston Churchill once served—this new location is housed in one of the British capital’s most iconic buildings. A historic setting for an Italian brand that is methodically expanding its international presence. Designed by Carlo Samarati, the restaurant draws on the aesthetic elements that have shaped the identity of the Langosteria, while offering a menu that combines the restaurant’s signature classics with several dishes created specifically for this opening.

This expansion is also part of a broader trend. More and more prestigious establishments are leaving their historic locations to become international brands. Following in the footsteps of Cipriani, Nobu, and Beefbar, the Langosteria group is now following this same path. This evolution reflects an increasingly globalized restaurant industry, where brands now travel faster than cuisines. It remains to be seen whether this race for expansion will preserve what originally made a top restaurant unique.
