By Denis Sheehan, Publisher, H&C News: Market Halls Canary Wharf opening with focus on community.
Market Halls has announced the launch of a brand-new food market in Canary Wharf, opening late March. The venue will become Market Halls’ third London site, and feature a line-up of exciting creative kitchens and bars and a programme of community-led events.
The line-up at Market Halls Canary Wharf Cargo will include firm favourites from the group’s existing sites, including Gopal’s Corner, DF Tacos and Baoziinn while also bringing in new and exciting additions including Le Bab, Pasta Evangelists and Inamo Sukoshi. More to be announced closer to opening.
Market Halls Canary Wharf Cargo will become a leading destination for drinking and dining in East London, catering to the local community as well as workers in Canary Wharf’s financial district as they return to offices, and boosted by the much-anticipated opening of the Elizabeth Line later this year.
Market Halls’ venues are well known for blending imaginative food experiences with great bars and exciting cultural event programming, and its markets remain among the most vibrant destinations in London for meeting with friends and working alike. Each of Market Halls’ destinations takes cues from the local area, and the philosophy at Market Halls Canary Wharf Cargo is no different, being based around creative kitchens and experiences, with a sense of community at its heart.
While drinking and dining will be central to the offering at Market Halls Canary Wharf Cargo, the site will also play host to regular events and activities including mindfulness sessions, painting, book clubs, sustainable fashion swaps, and exhibitions from local artists. As well as partnerships with local organisations, the opening of Market Halls Canary Wharf will strengthen its ability to raise crucial funds for local charities.
On the new Canary Wharf site, Market Halls Founder Andy Lewis-Pratt said: “We’re looking forward to diversifying our offering to bring a tailored approach reflecting exactly what our communities want to see from us. These new openings have provided us with the perfect opportunity to expand our events programming and work with even more fantastic food and drinks vendors.”
The relaunched Market Halls Oxford St location will open on Thursday 10th March, and will be followed by the opening of the brand-new Market Halls Canary Wharf towards the end of March.
