Inside UK's first TGI Friday's - now abandoned and graffiti-covered
As TGI Friday's looks to make a comeback in the UK, pictures from inside the derelict and destroyed first restaurant in Edgbaston, Birmingham, show a grim state A derelict TGI Fridays has been left in ruins, with graffiti daubed across its boarded-up front and shards of broken glass scattered across the floor. The once-bustling Edgbaston restaurant, on Hagley Road, Birmingham, made history as the very first TGI Fridays in the UK before shutting its doors last October. But now, the famous site has been reduced to a vandal's playground. Spray paint covers much of the exterior, while one window appears to have been smashed, leaving glass littering the ground. The place is now surrounded by boards to keep intruders out. It comes after a Brit abroad slams all-inclusive hotel food asking 'what on earth is this?' It's not the first time an abandoned TGI has been targeted this year. In March, the Sutton Coldfield branch, which also lay empty, was broken into, with vandals leaving a gaping hole in one of its windows. The closures come after the US diner chain axed 35 of its restaurants in a shock move last year. But 51 sites were saved in a dramatic rescue deal by Breal Capital and Calveton UK, including the popular Birmingham NEC and Walsall Waterfront locations. Since lighting up British high streets back in 1986 with its neon-gilded entrance in Birmingham, TGI Fridays has been a beloved hangout, but the past year has seen its fortunes nosedive. In September 2024, Hostmore, which is the UK operator of the chain, pulled the plug on a fabled £177million buyout of the American parent and entered administration, triggering a wave of panic. Suddenly, 87 UK restaurants hung in limbo, and 4,500 jobs trembled on the brink. A rescue deal in October by private equity titans Breal Capital and Calveton UK swooped in to save the day. They bought 51 restaurants, preserving around 2,000 jobs, but left 35 sites to shut their doors with immediate effect, etching more than 1,000 redundancies into the record. The shuttered list reads like a UK road trip: Birmingham's historic Hagley Road, Leicester Square's flagship, Brighton Marina, Sutton Coldfield, Swansea, all which are boarded up amid growing despair. In January 2025, the cherished Leicester Square branch, once deemed safe, quietly closed too—a poignant sign of how perilous the chain's path remains. Now, behind the scenes, the brand is trying to stage a comeback. With an Americana-infused 'brand reset' in the works, which involves revamping 70% of its menu and leaning into its old-school charm,TGI Fridays hopes to re-ignite the spark that once made it a Friday-night staple. Birmingham City Council has been asked for comment.

Broad Haven in Pembrokeshire a rising UK staycation hot spot
A UK staycation provider has revealed that lesser-known market towns and coastal spots are attracting more visitors in 2025. The trend comes as the UK sees a rise in demand for domestic getaways, with searches for "last minute holidays UK" up by 70 per cent in the last 30 days. Matthew Fox, CEO of Independent Cottages, said: "Summer staycation interest has continued to grow over recent years, particularly with families looking to make the most of the holidays, and what's interesting is where people are choosing to go. "We're seeing an interesting shift towards quaint, historic market towns rather than the usual tourist hotspots. "Cumbria, in particular, is having a moment. Not just the well-known places, but smaller charming towns that offer all the beauty the region has to offer, but without the crowds. "It's brilliant to see people discovering these gems that have so much character and history to offer." The UK self-catering accommodation provider analysed 12 months of enquiry data to identify the fastest-growing UK destinations for summer breaks. The top five rising destinations are Cockermouth in Cumbria, Broad Haven in Pembrokeshire, Sheepscombe in Gloucestershire, Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria, and Leek in Staffordshire. Broad Haven, a seaside village on the Pembrokeshire coast, has seen a 115 per cent year-on-year increase in interest. The village is known for its Blue Flag beach, colourful Georgian buildings, and coastal walks along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Other attractions include a SEA LIFE centre and a high street filled with independent shops. The new trend comes after the UK recorded its warmest and sunniest spring on record. This "toasty" start to summer has encouraged more people to explore holiday options closer to home, choosing quieter countryside and coastal escapes over traditional hotspots.
