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.

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.
