Outdoor dining to become permanent in luxury shopping district
By Hannah Neary, Local Democracy Reporter
A luxury shopping district will change forever as outdoor dining becomes permanent after the council approved plans.
Soane Square, between Chelsea and Belgravia, will be used for outdoor eating and drinking from May until October and then host short-term events for the public during the winter season.
Kensington and Chelsea council has now granted permission for the site to be used by businesses over the next 10 years.
The agreement will allow businesses to open between 8am and 10.30pm seven-days-a-week.
Bars, restaurants and cafés will be allowed to sell food and alcohol on the site and occasionally play live music and show film screenings.
