Popular Indian restaurant Dishoom is set to open a new location on the South Bank.
The chain is continuing to expand south of the Thames, taking over a former Las Iguanas next to the Royal Festival Hall.
Planning documents have been filed with Lambeth Council to refurbish the space, with proposals including an outdoor veranda with a retractable roof and openable sides.
The application is supported by rendered elevations, proposed floor plans, a design and access statement and a flood-risk assessment.
The planned development is expected to cost up to £2m and could be completed by October 10, 2026, if approved.
Earlier this year, Dishoom announced another branch opening at the Grade II-listed Hop Exchange near Borough Market.
Dishoom had no presence south of the river until it opened at Battersea Power Station in 2023, but its three most recent projects in the capital – Battersea, Borough and the proposed South Bank restaurant – are all in south London.
Founded by cousins Shamil and Kavi Thakrar in Covent Garden in 2010, the South Bank site will be the chain's eighth restaurant in London and twelfth overall.
