Chipotle UK locations: what the reports say
Chipotle’s European newsroom cites Metro (27 February 2024) as saying Chipotle had 17 locations across London and Greater London, four of which opened within the previous year, with recent openings in Watford and Guildford. It also quotes the company’s director of European operations saying it is always looking for new communities.
In March 2024, Verdict Food Service reported a new restaurant on Tottenham Court Road, London, opening on 28 March 2024 and trading 11am to 11pm daily, with 18 locations in Greater London at that point. It said customers can dine in or order delivery through Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo.
The first UK restaurants
The Caterer reported that Chipotle’s first UK restaurant was at 114-116 Charing Cross Road in London and that a second opened on Baker Street the following year. The article does not give dates in the text we read, so we do not state years.
How to find a Chipotle near you
- Use the restaurant locator on Chipotle’s UK website, which lists current restaurants.
- Check opening hours for your restaurant. The Tottenham Court Road site was reported as open 11am to 11pm daily, but hours vary.
- If there is no restaurant nearby, delivery partners may serve your area from the closest site.

Chipotle in the UK: the story so far
Chipotle was founded in Denver in 1993, and its first European restaurant opened in London in May 2010, according to Wikipedia. As of February 2024 the same source reported 19 UK locations, 17 of them in London. The list can change as sites open or close, so use the official restaurant locator for a current picture.
How to find your nearest Chipotle
- Use the store locator on the official Chipotle UK site and search by town or postcode.
- Check opening hours for the specific restaurant; city-centre sites often differ from retail-park or station sites.
- If you plan to order for delivery, confirm the restaurant is covered by the delivery app you use.
- Look at the restaurant page for any seasonal or temporary notices.
Why most sites are in London
The 17-of-19 split reported for February 2024 shows the UK estate was concentrated in the capital. Outside London, availability is limited, so if you live elsewhere your options may be delivery from a London site or a visit when you travel. We do not give a current restaurant count because we could not verify one.

Planning around a small estate
With a small number of restaurants concentrated in London, the practical question for most UK customers is not “which Chipotle is nearest” but “is there one on my route”. Commuters often find them near stations and shopping streets in central London, while visitors may find that a quick lunch is easier to plan if they check the opening hours first. If you are outside London, delivery apps are the only way to order, subject to coverage.
| Situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| You live in London | Use the locator and compare two or three nearby sites |
| You are visiting London | Check hours near your hotel or station |
| You live elsewhere | Check delivery apps for coverage, or plan a stop when you travel |
Questions worth asking the restaurant
- Is the high-protein range available here?

- Are there lunchtime queues, and is there a quieter time?
- Can the team confirm allergens for my order?
Key takeaways
- 19 UK locations, 17 in London, as of February 2024 (Wikipedia).

- Delivery coverage can extend beyond London in some areas.

What to expect inside a Chipotle restaurant
A Chipotle restaurant is a counter-service format: you queue along a serving line, choose your base and fillings as the team assembles your order, and then pay at the end. At busy times the line can be long, but it moves steadily because each person follows the same sequence. Seating is usually informal, and many customers take their order away. If you have an allergy, tell the team at the start so they can change gloves and use clean utensils.
Because the UK estate is small, restaurants tend to cluster in busy areas where lunchtime trade is strong. If you work near one, you may find the queue is longest between about midday and 2pm, so going slightly earlier or later can save time. Online ordering for collection, where available, can bypass the line entirely.
