Steve Kirwan, Operations Director, St George, said:
"We are delighted to welcome Balans Soho Society to Dickens Yard. It's a fantastic addition to Dickens Yard and will help put Ealing on the map as a thriving lifestyle location."
"The letting to Balans Soho Society is part of our wider strategy to curate a vibrant new destination at Dickens Yard ahead of the arrival of the Elizabeth Line at Ealing Broadway, attracting visitors from across the capital to the neighbourhood."
David Taylor, Owner and Manager, Balans Soho Society, said:
"2019 marks the 32nd anniversary of the very first Balans having opened in Old Compton Street, Soho. We couldn't think of a better way to mark the occasion than by upping sticks and, for the very first time, introducing to W5 the Balans Soho Society 'too much of a good thing is a very good thing indeed' ethos, and our award-winning all-day menu."
"Bohemian, sophisticated and perhaps just a touch eccentric - somewhere to abandon your plans - Balans is the quintessential Soho experience. We're absolutely delighted to be part of the exciting and vibrant regeneration of Ealing."
Balans Soho Society is the latest restaurant letting at Dickens Yard, following a series of recent openings including GAil's Bakery, Tonkotsu, Pasta Remoli, No. 17 and Charlotte's W5, which are all already open in Dickens Yard. These brands join a variety of new stores at Dickens Yard including triyoga, Jigsaw, Benham & Reeves, The Kumon Centre and Bio Bar.
Dickens Yard further offers 700 high quality new homes, 104,000 sq. ft. of retail space and a new landscaped public square which hosts a weekly market.
