Huge queues have formed outside London’s first Chick-fil-A, with crowds still lining Kingston’s Eden Street days after opening.
Footage posted on TikTok shows lines of customers waiting outside the new branch, which opened on March 5 at the former HSBC site on Eden Street.
The video, shared by TikTok user Chizz on Saturday, captured what they described as “madness” outside the restaurant, with crowds stretching along the pavement.

The Kingston branch is only the fourth Chick-fil-A to open in the UK, following launches in Leeds and Belfast.
The American fried chicken chain has drawn so much attention that reports suggested people were queueing before 7am on opening day.

The first 100 guests received free food and branded merchandise.
The restaurant serves the brand’s full US-style menu, including its signature chicken sandwich, waffle fries, and hand-squeezed lemonade.
Its arrival has been described by some as a potential boost for Kingston.
The two-floor site is located at 90 Eden Street, adding to an already busy mix of fast-food and casual dining outlets in the town centre.
The high demand has meant crowded pavements and long waits during peak hours.
