Karaoke chain Lucky Voice has filed plans for its first opening in the City of London as the leisure operator looks to give a boost to its portfolio of sites.
The company wants to take space on the lower ground and ground floors of 1 The Avenue, also known as 10 Devonshire Square, EC2, which was most recently a Pitt Cue restaurant. WeWork owns the site alongside Nuveen and PFA, and operates flexible office space in the building.
Planning documents for a change of use application show the new opening would comprise nine rooms for up to 20 guests each, as well as a communal bar.
Nick Jones, Lucky Voice’s business development director, told EG: “We have wanted to bring Lucky Voice to the City for a long time, and have submitted an application for a site, but it’s still early days.
“Lucky Voice was one of the first social entertainment brands in the UK, and it is a sector which continues to go from strength to strength. Our business has thrived in spite of the challenging macroeconomic climate, and as such we are actively looking at a number of locations to grow our estate and build on our strong position.”
The company runs four private room karaoke venues – three in London, in Westminster, Islington and Camden, and one in Brighton.
