Kudu Collective’s bar, Smokey Kudu, has opened at Rixo’s brand new flagship store on King’s Road.Relocating from Peckham.
The new bar is the first of the group’s brands to launch outside of south-east London.
The central circular Smokey Kudu cocktail bar offers 30 covers and has been designed by interiors company, Cupla, owned by Gemma McCloskey, twin sister of Rixo co-founder Orlagh McCloskey.
