What is happening to The Slug & Lettuce in St Albans?

After the recent closure of the Stonegate venue in Victoria Street, the community was left questioning what's next for the popular chain bar.

First announced last Friday, a new-look spot named The London Stone will start serving customers tomorrow (February 13).

Eagle-eyed locals have snapped the bar's freshly painted white exterior and new signage which was erected this week.

Little is known about the new bar, but Stonegate confirmed it remains under their umbrella. It has transitioned from a branded ‘managed’ venue, to being leased and a tenanted estate.

A Facebook post by The London Stone reads: "Something special is on its way to St Albans…

"Crafted cocktails, refined vibes and unforgettable nights await at The London Stone."

Down the road, ice cream shop Darlish has announced it will move from its seasonal home in Christopher Place to the Pavilion at Jubilee Square.

For those still looking for their Slug & Lettuce fix, the closest location is now in Watford.
