Fully fitted commercial kitchens to rent across London
COMMERCIAL KITCHENS & PRODUCTION UNITS BUILT TO SCALE
At Karma Kitchen, we build and manage private commercial kitchens and central production units (CPUs) across London. Every space is engineered around the critical operational infrastructure: heavy-duty extraction, dedicated 3-phase power, and high-capacity drainage.
- Flexible Scale: Private units ranging from 170 sq ft development spaces to 4,000+ sq ft bespoke central production facilities.
- Zero Fit-Out Delays: Commercial extraction, equipment, waste collection, business rates, and on-site facility teams are bundled into a single monthly licence.
- Built by Food Operators: Designed by experienced culinary founders who understand cookline flow, thermal loads, and daily production logistics.

Save up to £2.7m in capital costs
Building a 10,000 sq ft production facility in London costs around £273 per sq ft before you buy a single piece of equipment. Rent here and that figure is zero. Run your own numbers →

Save around £27 per sq ft, every year
A self-managed facility costs roughly £111 per sq ft a year to run. Ours average £83.80, because waste, business rates, maintenance and pest control are bought across six sites rather than one.
