London isn't just getting one Karen's Diner – we're getting two plus a hotel!

London isn't just getting one Karen's Diner – we're getting two plus a hotel!

A little while ago we told (or warned) you that the famously-foul mouthed Australian eatery Karen's Diner would be launching in London in 2022. At that time no further details had been confirmed but more information is now available and let's just say that London's Karens are in for a treat. Opening took a little longer than expected but the city will soon be home to two different Karen's Diner locations plus Karen's Hotel, where the rude service keeps going all night long. 

At these notorious unusual eateries you can count on terrible service and are expected to give as good as you get. On 10th March the first London site will open up north in Barnet, where you can also book a stay at Karen's Hotel, where the package includes an experience in the diner plus a one night hotel stay. As if that wasn't enough, on 14th April Islington will get a branch of the diner, located in White Lion Street. 

If you enjoy quirky dining experiences and are able to give as good as you get, a meal at Karen's might just be for you. In a cute 1950s-inspired diner setting, you can enjoy burgers, wings, and decadent sweet treats, whilst being told exactly where you can go by your server. Maybe leave your particularly sensitive friends at home for this one.
