Ah Gail’s, the mecca of bougie baked goods and posh coffee. Whether you’re a fan of its cherry and chocolate scones and chunky sausage rolls or not, the chain is becoming ubiquitous. Gail’s has 185 locations across the UK, throughout London, Cambridge, Oxford, Brighton, and Manchester. It’s also been on something of a Big Smoke expansion train of late, opening new sites in Crystal Palace, Hackney and even Gatwick Airport in recent months.
Which means you probably won’t be surprised to hear that yet another new Gail’s is opening in central London this summer.
Yep, a new 3,200 square foot Gail’s is coming to St James’s Park. The new site will form part of The Broadway, a development project which is being built on the site of the former New Scotland Yard.
Located just a hop, skip and a jump from Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and Horse Guards Parade, Gail’s St James’s Park will offer both takeaway and eat-in options, with space for 74 people to sit indoors. It’ll also have an alfresco space big enough for 25 seats.
We don’t have an exact opening date for the new coffee spot yet, although we know it’ll be some time in July. When it does, it’ll sit alongside other food and drinks venues in The Broadway including salad spot atis, American cult food chain Coyo Taco and smoothie bowl seller Açaí Berry.
