Riot Games has today revealed a Worlds 2024 chicken shop promotional activity to celebrate the LoL World Championship final in London.
Londoners can get involved with the League of Legends Worlds finals with Baron’s Bites: a limited-time-only Worlds 2024 chicken shop pop-up for fans to sink their teeth into.
In celebration of a part of London culture, Riot Games will be taking over one of London’s favourite chicken shops near London Bridge SE1 from October 28th to 29th 2024.
Riot will reveal the actual location on its League of Legends social media channels this Sunday (October 27th). Update: It’s 120 Tooley Street.
Riot said: “Visitors can expect custom Baron Bites x Worlds merch, free giveaways, their favourite creators in attendance, photo ops and of course, delicious London Fried Chicken and plant based Chick’n in abundance.
“Players looking for a way to get involved in the hype for Worlds before the event should take some time to make sure they have the right fuel for the job. Sleepless nights, crowds, screaming and endless baton smashing can make the finals demanding, so what better way to stay energised then with some extra crunchy snacks!”
Guests will also be treated to live music and entertainment from some of London’s top buskers while they wait for their meal.

A couple of months ago, Riot Games hosted a ‘Clutch Kitchen’ event in the UK to celebrate the Valorant console launch at Village Underground in London’s Shoreditch.
And a few years ago, Riot Games opened a one-off Hextech Expo storefront in London’s Oxford Street to promote the first season of its animated Netflix series, Arcane.
