London’s biggest Boxpark approved in Wembley
Opening at the end of 2018, the new space will play host to 27 independent food and drink operators, as well as a 20,000-square-foot events space and a 300-capacity venue.
The 50,000 sq ft complex will be the biggest Boxpark yet – larger than its sister sites in Shoreditch and Croydon.
Boxpark is famous for creating its mini foodie villages out of refitted shipping containers, but this venue is so massive that it will be built more traditionally. No vendors have been confirmed as yet.
Brent Coucil’s cabinet member for regeneration, employment, skills and growth, Councillor Shama Tatler, said:
"Wembley’s already known the world over but this news from Boxpark shows how far the area has come in becoming so much more than a match-day destination. There’s a real buzz being generated about the place and Boxpark’s arrival in Brent will not only be good news for start-ups looking for space or for artists looking for somewhere to perform, it will also help to bring more people to the area which will be a boost for other local businesses in the area."
Boxpark Wembley is due to open in late 2018.
