London’s Veeraswamy, a historic Indian restaurant since 1926, risks closure after the Crown Estate denied lease renewal for redevelopment.
London’s oldest Indian restaurant, Veeraswamy, founded in 1926 on Regent Street, faces closure after the Crown Estate declined to renew its lease, citing plans to redevelop the Grade II-listed building into modern offices.
The restaurant, which has hosted global figures and earned a Michelin star, is fighting to stay open, with over 18,000 people signing a petition urging King Charles to intervene.
Supporters argue the closure would erase a vital piece of Indo-British cultural heritage.
A court hearing later in 2026 will determine if the restaurant can retain its lease under community value protections.
