OPEN HOUSE LONDON LIMITED
Company number 08511795 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Open House London Limited occupies a precarious position within the UK licensed hospitality sector. While its three premium London sites generate respectable per-site revenues of approximately £4m, the business is fundamentally loss-making at the EBITDA level, balance-sheet insolvent with negative equity of £12.4m, and faces a material going concern uncertainty flagged by its auditors regarding bank covenant compliance. The company's trajectory—worsening EBITDA despite strong revenue recovery—indicates a structural cost problem that scale alone has not resolved, and its near-zero cash position leaves it dangerously exposed to any further trading disruption. Without significant restructuring or further equity injection, Open House's position as a small multi-site operator with an unsustainable capital structure places it at severe risk within an increasingly competitive and cost-pressured London hospitality market.
