Dom’s Subs is closing its sandwich shop in the City of London

It’s so long to a titan of the London sandwich scene. Dom’s Subs is officially shutting down its City of London outpost.

Don’t panic, Dom’s Subs as a business is sticking around. But it’ll be moving out of its shop on Cullum Street after being issued a notice of forfeiture by its landlords. 

The cult sandwich shop, which over the years has collabed with the likes of Carhartt, Dishoom, Yard Sale and Time Out cover star Big Zuu, has been serving its mighty rolls to the City of London since 2021. Yesterday (March 9) in an Instagram post, it announced that it has been ‘struggling to keep up with rising rent and bills’ and ultimately has been unable to continue making it work. 

It added: ‘We didn’t want things to end up this way, but ultimately it’s no one’s fault but our own. We hold our hands up and we’re very grateful to our landlords for their patience with us over the past months.’

The original Dom’s Subs on Hackney Road is also no longer operating as a Dom’s Subs. But the business says that the site is ‘well underway to becoming something new’ and that it’s ‘genuinely excited about what’s coming next’. Fans of the impeccable sarnies can still pick up their favourites – including That Spicy D, L’Italiano and Il Roast Beef – from Dom’s Subs kiosk in Ludgate Circus.

You can also still go on down to Rasputin’s and Jupiter Burger, which don’t offer the same sandwiches, but are run by the same team and have their own very good bread-and-meat-led menus. 

On the bright side, DS also revealed that there will be ‘some less depressing, more positive Dom’s news’ landing later this week. Watch this space. 

More goodbyes: London’s best pub will soon stop serving one of the city’s greatest pizzas. 

Plus: Traders at Ridley Road Market are being threatened with eviction.
