  Julia Wilkinson

  Julia joined West End specialist property company Shaftesbury in 1997 and has led the F&B strategy and portfolio for over ten years. As the largest single owner of restaurants, cafés, bars and leisure space in central London, Shaftesbury is renowned for the curation and place-making of its iconic West End villages, which include Carnaby, Seven Dials and Chinatown, plus holdings in Soho, Fitzrovia and Theatreland. With a long-term strategy of working with independent, experiential operators, the first sites of ground-breaking restaurant groups such as The Palomar, Dishoom, Flat Iron, Island Poke and Polpo are all within Shaftesbury’s portfolio. Many have taken subsequent Shaftesbury sites for new ideas and concepts as their businesses grow. Recent additions with similar potential include Sri Lankan operator, Kolamba, and Norma, former Saltyard co-founder Ben Tish’s Sicilian concept. Shaftesbury’s instinctive, holistic approach to F&B curation includes the creation of West End food hub Kingly Court, Carnaby, the refreshing of Neal’s Yard, Seven Dials, and the on-going rejuvenation of Chinatown, now increasingly known as a showcase for an array of Chinese regional cuisines and the new “Dessert Bar Alley”. Despite the impact of the pandemic, the West End restaurant market remains as energised and creative as ever, and Julia’s role is to find, place and nurture the most exciting young and growing operators in spaces and locations where they will thrive.
