The former Covent Garden offices of the Lady magazine are to become a pub, the Standard understands.
The historic six-storey Georgian building at 39-40 Bedford Street — which, surprisingly, remains unlisted — is set to open as a restaurant and pub, with Westminster Council last week approving a licence application by Charlie Carroll, the Flat Iron founder and operator behind the Devonshire in Soho, and Capital and Counties Ltd. It is thought the new pub will retain the magazine’s name.
