Flat Iron set for Kensington opening

Flat Iron, the Piper-backed affordable steak concept, is set to open in London’s Kensington next spring, Propel has learned. The Tom Byng-led business is understood to have secured the ex-Le Pain Quotidien site in Young Street for what will become its 12th site in the capital. Propel understands Flat Iron is looking for further opportunities to grow next year in both London and regionally. Earlier this month, the business opened its latest site on the former Le Pain Quotidien site in Westfield London. It followed an opening earlier this year in Waterloo, opposite The Young Vic in The Cut. Richard Negus, of AG&G, acted on the Kensington deal.
