Great Queen Street announces it will close next month

Great Queen Street restaurant has announced that it will close next month after 12 years in London's West End.

The restaurant was opened by chef Tom Norrington-Davies in 2007 serving pared-down British food with Iberian influences to glowing reviews from critics.

The restaurant announced its closure in a tweet: "It is with heavy heart that we announce that Great Queen Street restaurant is coming to its end.

"We say goodbye after 12 fantastic years and thank everyone who came as a customer or worked with us. Our last service is to be lunch on July 12th."

The restaurant sits within the same group as the Anchor and Hope in Waterloo, the Magdalen Arms in Oxford and the Canton Arms in Lambeth.

No reason has yet been given for its closure.
