A London pub chain known for its Scandinavian-influenced interior design and gourmet breakfast menu is changing hands, as the “neighbourhood” bars group was bought by Portobello Pub Company today.
Darwin & Wallace operates seven pubs, mostly in South West London, at locations including Battersea Power Station and Chiswick Fire Station. It says all of its locations “take inspiration from their local areas”, and are designed in response to the “formulaic” style of many London watering holes.The chain is named after naturalists Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace.
