The shipping container pop-up mall is leaving its Shoreditch home after 12 years
It’s been a Shoreditch landmark for over a decade but by the end of the summer, BOXPARK will be gone from the east London neighbourhood. Opened in October 2011, BOXPARK Shoreditch was given a ‘meanwhile use’ tenancy at the Bishopsgate Goodsyard site on Shoreditch High Street and in those 12 years has provided a home for over 250 independent brands and become a cultural hotspot.
Now that planning permission for the redevelopment of the site has been granted by the Mayor, BOXPARK Shoreditch’s lease has expired so the containers will be making way for new homes, office space, retail and leisure units and a park. The NTIA did launch a campaign to save the venue, citing the role it plays in the community and the fact the redevelopment work wouldn’t begin immediately, and it has been granted a lease extension to trade until the end of September 2025.
But when one door closes, another opens. BOXPARK has already opened in Camden, taking over what was Buck Street Market, with 60 traders, including Chipsy, Yorkshire Burrito, Philippe Conticini (of viral giant croissant fame) and Black Bear Burger, two bars and a rooftop terrace. A bricks-and-mortar BOXHALL will also be opening in the spring, transforming the 14,000 sq ft Metropolitan Arcade by Liverpool Street station into an all-day beer, food and music hall venue. Taking inspo from venues like Chelsea Market in NYC, BOXHALL will feature 13 food and drink brands, have a dedicated Chef’s Kitchen space where emerging talent can showcase their brand concepts and menus, and a 3000 sq ft roof terrace.
