The Former Vogue House Will Be Home To A London Outpost Of New York’s Legendary Polo Bar

After Condé Nast bid farewell to Vogue House last year, there’s been much speculation about what would happen to the historic property – which played host to everyone from Princess Diana to Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell over the years.

Now, we finally have an answer: Ralph Lauren is set to open The Polo Bar Ralph Lauren at 1 Hanover Square, in an expansion of the US brand’s restaurant empire, which already includes The Polo Bar in New York, and Ralph’s in Milan and Paris.

“I have always been inspired by the special charm and heritage of the British way of living,” Ralph Lauren, the founder, executive chairman and chief creative officer of his eponymous brand, said in a statement. “There is an effortless grace that is rooted in centuries of tradition – a blend of timeless sophistication, understated ease and natural elegance. That perfect balance of refinement and warmth, and the comfort of sitting around a table enjoying a meal with loved ones, are what my restaurants have always meant to me.”

It’ll be a while before we can enjoy the brand’s famous Polo Bar burger in the former Vogue House building, though, with the opening slated for 2028. We’re already counting down the days.
