Read our privacy notice. The British high street continues to struggle in 2026, with a number of major retailers closing stores for good. Rising costs, shoppers moving online and increases to National Insurance contributions and the minimum wage have meant several staples of the high street are suffering. Pizzeria chain Franco Manca confirmed on Tuesday that they will push ahead with the closure of 16 of its restaurants, including nine in London. The Standard has compiled a full list of announced upcoming closures in London in 2026. Franco Manca Last month, parent firm The Fulham Shore said it planned to shut a number of Franco Manca sites as part of a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) process, which will also hit around 225 jobs. Now the closures will go ahead after a restructuring plan was approved by creditors. Franco Manca Local Library The pizza brand currently runs 70 restaurants prior to the closures but said it has been knocked by “disproportionately high” UK taxes and a lack of business rates relief for restaurants. The affected restaurants were “no longer sustainable” as a result.
