The immersive Italian restaurant and bar concept will be trading in its current guise until Saturday 5 April before it is closed for its transformation, with plans to reopen this autumn.
While parent company Inception Group remained tight-lipped about what the new Bunga will look like, it stated there will be the addition of many more interactive elements.
Co-founder Charlie Gilkes said: “We are hugely excited to announce the next iteration of Bunga Bunga.”

He added: “We have been open and trading in this location for nearly 10 years and so now is the right time to revitalise this fantastic Covent Garden site.
“This is not just a substantial refurbishment though as for the first time, we are taking one of our brands and giving all aspects of the product, design and narrative a complete overhaul.
“We cannot wait to open the doors again later this year and to show our guests what we have created.”
The multiple operator opened its latest venue last year. Set inside an old railway arch within the Borough Yards development on the edge of Borough Market, Cahoots: Postal Office serves a number of cocktails sent via a pneumatic tube system.
Business growth
Gilkes said the opening was the group’s “most immersive venue to date”, transporting guests to 1946.
On the latest addition to the business, he told The Morning Advertiser: “The post office is another great British institution and the scoundrels have taken over the Tube network in Soho.
“We thought in Borough it would be great to do something that is part of the same collection but again like Mr Fogg’s, we don’t want to be a chain so it’s being a collection, not a chain, we talk about the Cahoots network.”
On potential future plans, Gilkes added: “There will be many more, both in London and beyond.”
