Fully fitted commercial kitchens to rent across London

Built for modern food businesses

Karma Kitchen rents private, fully fitted commercial kitchens at six sites across inner London: Bermondsey, Hackney, Crystal Palace, London Fields, Wimbledon and Wood Green. Every kitchen comes with equipment, extraction, waste collection, business rates and on-site management covered in one monthly rent, so you can start producing without a fit-out, a build programme or contractors to manage.

 

Spaces range from 170 sq ft development kitchens through medium and large private units to bespoke central production units of several thousand square feet. Whether you're a corporate caterer, a restaurant group, a food manufacturer or an independent operator, we'll match you to the right size and the right site for your deliveries, team and customers.

 

Karma Kitchen was built by people who have run food businesses themselves. That shows in the layout of the kitchens, the equipment we choose and the way our site teams work.
