Urban Pubs & Bars, the fast-growing London pub group, has published impressive financial results for 2025, citing record profits.

In the last 12 months, the business delivered site EBITDA (earning before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) of £23m and EBITDA after central costs of £17m.
This is an increase of £5m versus reported EBITDA of £12.3m for the financial year ended 27th April 2025 — an uplift of almost 50%.
The group, which operates 66 high-quality sites across London, also delivered its strongest-ever Christmas trading performance in 2025.
“Delivering over £20m of site EBITDA in the last 12 months is a major milestone for Urban,” said managing director Chris Hill.
“Our record Christmas trading and latest figures reflect the quality of our estate and the strength of our teams. The momentum we have going into 2026 is exceptionally strong.”
The group recently completed its sixth acquisition of 2026 with the purchase of The Birdcage, in East London, from BrewDog. This followed the acquisition of five premium pubs, including The Prince Regent in Herne Hill, alongside a package of four established, high-performing sites acquired from Brunning & Price.
These acquisitions build on the successful purchase of the Albion & East business in October, 2025.
