S Group has also announced a new project on the site of pizza restaurant, Pizza Garden. Building work has commenced to convert the existing space into two retail spaces, divided between what will be Edgware’s first kosher barber — a third outlet for YoYo Barbers — and a restaurant as yet to be confirmed. This will be the third site for the small chain, which has outlets in Stamford Hill and Golders Green, cutting hair in accordance with Jewish halachah.
