Popeyes is to open three more restaurants in the capital as it continues its expansion in the UK.
The fried chicken chain will welcome customers to stores in Richmond, Woolwich and Kilburn.
The Richmond restaurant will be the first to open on May 4 and will be situated just 200m from Richmond train station.
Popeyes has not yet confirmed the dates for its Kilburn and Woolwich sites but says they are "opening soon".
The new openings put Popeyes on track to achieve its aim to open 20 new sites in the UK this year.
The US chain, which is famed for its chicken sandwiches and secret Louisiana-inspired seasonings, said that London was a "key market" for them and that is why they were opening more stores in the capital.
If you fancy grabbing yourself a Popeyes on the opening day in Richmond you want to consider heading down early.
This is because the first 25 customers will get a free Chicken Sandwich as well as some Popeyes merch.
Richmond’s opening will also see the cult chicken brand roll out its breakfast menu which features things such as The Big Breakfast Roll, Cajun seasoned hash browns, and a Nutella-topped take on Popeye's famous Southern biscuit.
Again, if you fancy trying a Popeyes breakfast you may want to get down early again on May 5 as the first 25 customers will once again be treated to a free breakfast muffin.
Tom Byng, chief development officer at Popeyes UK, said: “London is naturally a key market for us, and we want to make sure no borough is underserved.”
"We acquire and open sites based on market demand, and it turns out that every corner of the city loves flavourful, spicy chicken as much as we do. We’re looking forward to continuing our expansion.”
Here's what happened when The Mirror visited Popeyes.
The chicken restaurant chain – which first opened in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1972 - previously said it saw Britain as its "next big opportunity”.
Popeyes opened its first UK venue in Stratford in 2021 and as of 2023, it has around 20 stores in the country.
In February, the chain announced it was to open seven more sites across the UK.
