Hostel provider, pub and bar operator Beds and Bars, is planning to add 200 bedrooms to its flagship property in Southwark, London thanks to a £2m investment. This will also see a full refurbishment of the basement bar on site, Belushi’s.
The company, who operates 3 sites on Borough High Street offering a total of 304 beds, is still in negotiations for complete planning application but hopes to begin work soon to significantly extend the size of St Christopher's Village, London Bridge hostel.
Beds and Bars recently reported a 5% rise in sales growth with turnover rising to £28.7m. They are now also actively searching for new properties in London, to add to the existing portfolio of backpacker accommodation and bars. The group operates 27 sites in the UK, under the St Christopher Inns brand, Belushi’s bars and Interpub pubs.
