KFC transformed its latest London restaurant into a nightclub for its grand opening this weekend. The brand new Mornington Crescent KFC launched with blacked-out windows and high-tech¹ lighting² as it became a hip³ hop⁴ club for the night. Clubber Jack⁵ Dalziel, 27, from Peckham, said: "Food was great. Crowd was amazing. Music was banging." KFC Mornington Crescent will create 20 jobs in North London. In the coming weeks, delivery will be available at the restaurant and it will also be involved in KFC’s charity initiatives including the Food Donation Scheme, which sees unsold chicken frozen and donated to a local charity partner.
