Soho's Bar Italia opens second location at the Outernet by Tottenham Court Road station

Soho stalwart, Bar Italia, expanded its Frith Street venue this week as it opened a second site just five minutes away.

Bar Italia, which first started welcoming London customers through its doors in 1949 is renowned for offering hospitality almost 24 hours a day.

Having won many prestigious awards including ‘The Best Coffee Bar in London’ multiple times the spot has now opened a new location just around the corner.

Bar Italia’s new site is a counter amidst the mesmerising big screen displays at the Outernet Building right by Tottenham Court Road station.

Since launching two years ago Outernet has quickly become a landmark of Soho offering visitors a chance to enjoy arts and entertainment on the immense immersive screens - all for free.

Some of Outernet’s most iconic displays include the family favourite the Butterfly Trail which allows visitors to capture a butterfly from the screens using their phone and augmented reality.

The Bar Italia Outernet counter is based in the venue’s main room - the Now Building, and will be open from 10am until around midnight which are the spot’s typical opening hours.

Reflecting on the new addition to the venue, CEO of Outernet, Philip O’Ferrall said: “This is new Soho coming together with classic Soho and proving that the two can combine to create something very special with real soul.

“Both Outernet and Bar Italia are completely unique and so this is a natural partnership. I couldn’t be happier that Outernet will be the home of a new Bar Italia spot for the first time ever.”
