The company behind New Hong Kong City, the Chinese restaurant at 43 New Cross Road, went into creditors' voluntary liquidation on 22 October, the Gazette records.

The company that runs New Hong Kong City, the Chinese restaurant at 43 New Cross Road, is in liquidation.

New Hong Kong City Ltd went into creditors’ voluntary liquidation on 22 October. Its members voted to wind it up that day, and two liquidators were appointed. Both steps were recorded in The London Gazette, the official public record, on 28 October (resolution to wind up, notice 5239435; appointment of liquidators, notice 5239429).

What the record says

  • Company: New Hong Kong City Ltd, company number 15893391, trading as New Hong Kong City
  • Trading address: 43 New Cross Road, SE14
  • Business: licensed restaurants
  • Type of liquidation: creditors’ voluntary liquidation, which the company’s own members start when it cannot pay its debts
  • Liquidators: Rikki Burton and Jasmine Baxter of Anderson Brookes Insolvency Practitioners, Chorley, appointed by the members and creditors on 22 October
  • Creditors’ meeting: held virtually at 10am on 22 October, as advertised in the Gazette on 13 October (notice 5229898)

Companies House shows the company was incorporated on 13 August 2024, and lists it as in liquidation. Its registered office has moved from the restaurant to the liquidators’ office in Chorley (Companies House).

The restaurant is older than the company. A Hong Kong City restaurant was already trading at 43 New Cross Road in 2010 (Londonist, May 2010), in a building that was once a pub, the Crown and Anchor (Wikimedia Commons). The latest food hygiene inspection, on 12 February 2025, rated it 3, “generally satisfactory” (Food Standards Agency).

Is the restaurant still open?

The Gazette notices do not say. A liquidation ends the company, but it does not always close the business: a restaurant can be sold on, or carry on under a new owner. We could not confirm today whether New Hong Kong City is still trading, and we will update this story when we can.
