Flight Club to join Reading’s £850m Station Hill development

Social darts venue operator Flight Club is set to join Reading’s Station Hill after signing a 15-year lease at the £850m mixed-use development.

The leisure operator will take a 6,211 sq ft unit at ONE Station Hill, the 275,000 sq ft office space that anchors the centre of the Station Hill scheme.

The venue will front over two acres of new public realm which has connected the town centre to Reading Station and provided a number of open spaces.

Flight Club will join retail and leisure brands such as Berkshire-based Siren Craft Brew and Notes Coffee Roasters, as well as Italian Trattoria Angelos, Japanese restaurant Kawaii and 1650 Coffee Co. It will also look to complement the network of global businesses at ONE Station Hill, including PwC, NewFlex, PepsiCo and Kenvue.

Alex Aitchison at Lincoln Property Company and on behalf of the Lincoln MGT joint venture, which is bringing forward Station Hill, said: “It’s fantastic to be welcoming Flight Club to Station Hill, right in the heart of Reading. Station Hill is already a buzzing, well-connected destination that people in Reading enjoy and take pride in. 

“We’re confident that Flight Club will add even more energy to that experience and strengthen our popular retail and leisure offering, reinforcing our position as a key destination in the Thames Valley where people want to work, live and play. We look forward to welcoming Flight Club to our award-winning scheme.”

Flight Club launched its first site in 2015 in Shoreditch and has since grown to operate over 30 locations worldwide across the UK, Ireland, Australia and America.
