The Leonard Hotel in London expands with Mediterranean-inspired restaurant

The Leonard Hotel in London is expanding with the opening of Mour, a new Mediterranean-inspired restaurant located next door on Seymour Street.

Mour, in collaboration with Emerald Hospitality Group is set within a reimagined Georgian townhouse and with an individual entrance. It offers a 60-seater restaurant including a 20-seater sun-lit courtyard open all year round courtesy of its retractable roof.

Designed for both relaxed daytime dining and a more elevated evening experience, the menu will follow the seasons and be built around British produce cooked with Mediterranean flair. Dishes will be ingredient-led and designed to be shared – focusing on responsibly sourced meats and fish, freshly made pastas and seasonal vegetables.

With double-height ceilings throughout, a bar with counter seating will anchor the dining room, creating a social hub. Here, signature martini-led cocktails and a well-balanced Mediterranean-leaning wine list will be the order of the day.

Designed with Marta Gaset Studio, the interior will honour the property’s British heritage while introducing a contemporary edge. Inside, open fireplaces, libraries and curated artwork, tapestries and artefacts will sit alongside clean lines, marble accents and considered fabrics giving the feeling of an elevated, well-loved home.

For founder Saachi Sehgal, the restaurant is a deeply personal project. He and his sister, Sienna, grew up spending time at family-run The Leonard Hotel next door, and that sense of ease and belonging became the blueprint; a space where the setting feels considered, but never formal – a genuine home away from home.

The name Mour is a subtle nod to its home on Seymour Street, whilst also encapsulating the warm and generous ethos of the restaurant. “It is a place to celebrate ‘the more’ in life”, says Saachi, “the longer lunches, the second bottle, the conversations that spill into the evening”.
