The restaurant is currently not taking bookings beyond the end of October, with Restaurant​ being told that the closure is only expected to be temporary.

However, Restaurant ​also understands that another option being considered by D&D London is to sell the site.

In a statement, the company says: “After thorough deliberation, and following the departure of chef patron Ben Murphy, D&D London has made the decision to close Launceston Place in Kensington at the end of this month. We will be reviewing our options for the business moving forwards.

“The well-being of the greatly valued team at Launceston Place remains a priority and D&D London is committed to supporting those affected.

“Despite this change, the group’s outlook remains robust as it concludes a successful period and anticipates exciting opportunities in the coming year, both in the UK and internationally.”

Murphy announced back in August​​ that he would be leaving Launceston Place at the end of October, saying it was ‘time for a new chapter’.

At the time it was reported that he had no definite plans for his next role and was looking at a number of options.

Murphy, who begun his career at Koffmann’s at The Berkeley with Pierre Koffmann back in 2010, joined Launceston Place as head chef in 2017 after D&D took ownership of the restaurant following its acquisition of Image Restaurants​​.

He was promoted to chef patron in 2021​​.

Speaking about his departure back in the summer, Murphy said: “[Launceston Place] has been a remarkable stage in my working life, and I have grown both personally and professionally.”

His final service will be on 31 October.
