Londoners’ love of Guinness is growing — one in every 10 pints sold in the capital is reportedly now a Guinness, and UK sales of the stout have increased by 30 per cent in the past six months — and now a 50,000sq ft building dedicated to the black stuff is coming to Covent Garden.
The £73m venture, called Guinness at Old Brewer’s Yard, will bring together a microbrewery, an open-fire restaurant, a 360-degrees glass-walled roof terrace and event spaces, all beneath one roof.
