Healthy fast food chain Leon is to further strengthen its London estate with an opening near Borough Market.

The group, which has openings lined up in the capital in Paddington Station, Richmond and Shaftesbury Avenue, has secured a unit in Southwark Street next to bistro Padella.

The 43-strong brand, which opened its latest site at London Bridge station yesterday, will open in Lower George Street in Richmond and on a former Costa Coffee site at 62 Shaftesbury Avenue.

The company, which has opened nine sites this year, will also open in Paddington Station in the first quarter of next year and has lined up further openings in Leeds and Manchester.

It recently opened a new site in Oxford, which it claimed would be the most ‘family-friendly’ and ‘eco-friendly’ across its estate, with a buggy park, play area, children’s library, and a new customer waste recycling system.

Earlier this year, the company announced it planned to open 50 new sites over the next four years after securing a new funding deal worth £19m from bank OakNorth.
