Eastern Mediterranean restaurant group Brother Marcus and Scandinavian-inspired espresso bar Hagen are expanding their presence in Canary Wharf, London, UK, reported Catering Today.

The two establishments have secured leases at YY London, a refurbished office building.

Brother Marcus is set to bring its brunch and mezze dishes, along with cocktails and Eastern Mediterranean wines, to YY London next year.

Co-founded by Tas Gaitanos and Alex Large, the restaurant group has signed a 20-year lease for a 2,861ft² space facing the Jubilee Plaza. Hagen has recently inaugurated its 17th outlet within the same complex.  

Occupying a 1,141ft² area on a ten-year lease, the new bar draws inspiration from Copenhagen’s Room 606.

The interior of the establishment is decorated with blue velvet, brown marble, wooden panelling, and oval lighting.

Additionally, a significant restaurant chain is poised to join the culinary landscape at YY London. Details of the 9,500ft² lease will be revealed in due course as reported by Hospitality & Leisure News.

Both Brother Marcus and Hagen will enjoy prime positioning on the ground floor of YY London, offering direct access to the open spaces of Jubilee Plaza and proximity to key transport links like the Jubilee Line Underground Station and the new waterfront Eden Dock. 

The transformation of YY London occurred under the vision of Quadrant and Oaktree Capital Management funds, which purchased the property in 2019.  

Quadrant founding partner Tristram Gethin said: “We welcome these exceptional brands to YY London. That they are moving into YY London is further testament to the building’s quality and the role it is playing in Canary Wharf’s community.” 

Last year, fintech company Revolut established its global headquarters at YY London, taking up 113,000ft² across four floors.
