JD Wetherspoon\u00a0is set to open\u00a0its first ever pub in London\u2019s Theatreland district, with\u00a0a new West End mega-boozer taking over part of what was once the Trocadero.<\/p>\n

The pub will be known as Piccadilly Hall, named in tribute to the original Piccadilly\/Pikadilly Hall \u2013 the 17th century mansion that gave its name to Piccadilly Circus. It will open at 30 Shaftesbury Avenue \u2013 most recently home to the now-shuttered Coyote Ugly bar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A launch date for the latest pub from the budget boozer chain has not yet been revealed, but what we do know is that the space will be over 3,600 square-feet and will fit 280 covers, and be open daily from 7am to midnight. Yes, they will be doing breakfast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This follows news that \u2019Spoons will be opening a new watering hole at Paddington Station. The proposed new pub will span 3,600 square-feet across two floors, including a mezzanine in the station\u2019s former ticket hall, with direct access to the Bakerloo line. It will join two other recently opened railway \u2019Spoons; Captain Flinders Wetherspoons at Euston and The Lion and The Unicorn at Waterloo.<\/p>\n
