Karaoke chain picks Waterloo for next hit

Karaoke chain Lucky Voice is preparing to open a venue in London’s Waterloo in a £1.6m investment for the company. Lucky Voice is taking a 3,200 sq ft unit in LCR’s Sidings, a project that regenerates the former Eurostar terminal at Waterloo station. It expects the site to open in spring next year. The venue will include eight regular karaoke booths, a VIP booth, a corporate booth for 20 people and a late-night bar. The site is Lucky Voice’s fifth in London, following openings in Soho, Islington, Holborn and – most recently – Liverpool Street. It also has bars in Brighton and Dubai. Speaking with EG last year, managing director Charlie Elek said he wants the company to run 10 venues by the end of 2024, adding that there is “real potential” to open in other cities such as Manchester.
