Which Beefeaters were in London?
4 Beefeaters in London were on Whitbread's closure list: The Fountain, Liberty Bell, London Woolwich and Travellers Rest. All closed on 10 September 2026.
| Former Beefeater | Area | Postcode | Now |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Fountain | Greater London | TW2 5PE | No Premier Inn or new-owner listing found yet |
| Liberty Bell | Essex | RM1 3EN | Premier Inn London Romford (Mercury Gardens): Premier Inn restaurant |
| London Woolwich | Greater London | SE18 6BF | Premier Inn London Woolwich (Royal Arsenal): Premier Inn restaurant |
| Travellers Rest | Greater London | HA3 8AT | Premier Inn London Harrow: Premier Inn restaurant |
The area is the one on Whitbread's closure list. 'Now' is the restaurant listed on the nearest Premier Inn hotel page within 600 metres, a Queensway Inns pub at the same address, or a reported new owner. A hotel restaurant nearby does not prove it is in the old Beefeater building.
What replaced the Beefeaters in London?
At 3 of the 4 sites, the Premier Inn next door lists its own restaurant, which serves the Premier Inn restaurant menu.
| What a former Beefeater is now | Sites |

| Premier Inn next door, breakfast room or no restaurant listed | 0 |
| Queensway Inns pub | 0 |

| No current listing found | 1 |

London Beefeaters used price band 1 of Beefeater's last menu, so an 8oz sirloin cost £18.99 before the closure. These prices are archived: nothing is on sale.
