Italy-based Poke House has added a location near St. Paul's Cathedral in London and will open a store next week in London's Battersea Power Station. The city's future Poke House sites include Mayfair, Harvey Nichols, Borough Market and St. John's Wood.

"We're always looking to grow the Poke House brand, with new site openings in the best and most iconic locations," Holly Hilton, head of marketing, said in a company press release. "We're all thrilled with our new St. Paul's site and can't wait to get our famous poke bowls into the hands of customers outside of London too."

Since launching in the U.K. in September 2021, with its first site in Notting Hill on Portobello Road, the restaurant has grown to eight brick-and-mortar sites in London, with many more in the pipeline.

"We opened a dark kitchen in Cambridge earlier in the year and the city has responded unbelievably well to our offering, hence why we're now opening our first bricks-and-mortar restaurant there," Hilton said. " It's a very exciting time to be a part of Poke House and I'm thrilled to be working for such a visionary brand, which has such a strong proven concept."

In true Cali-style, Poke House offers all-day options that include the Sunny Salmon, Spicy Tuna and Vegan Bowl, as well as the latest seasonal offering, the Sea Kiss Bowl.
