Commercial kitchen hire near Waterloo, South London.

Waterloo is one of London's most commercially active and culturally distinctive districts. The stretch of the South Bank running from London Bridge west through Waterloo to Lambeth Bridge combines a dense concentration of corporate offices, media companies, arts institutions and some of London's most active event venues — generating substantial and consistent demand for quality food across corporate catering, event catering and hospitality supply channels.

The corporate market along Stamford Street, Upper Ground and the surrounding SE1 streets is significant and growing. ITV, IBM, Havas and a cluster of tech and creative businesses have established a media and corporate corridor along the South Bank that generates high-value, consistent catering accounts — the kind of long-term contracts that serious catering businesses build their operations around. The concentration of hotels along the Waterloo Road and Westminster Bridge Road corridors adds a further layer of hospitality catering demand to an already active market.

The South Bank arts complex running from Tate Modern west through the National Theatre, BFI and Royal Festival Hall to the London Eye is one of the most active event catering markets in London — a concentration of large venues with high-volume, high-frequency event programmes that generate consistent catering demand throughout the year. For event catering businesses based at Karma Kitchen Bermondsey, the South Bank represents one of the most valuable and accessible client concentrations available from a South London production base.

Borough Market sits to the east — a practical daily resource for ingredient sourcing and one of the world's great food markets. The Bermondsey Street food and drink community running south from London Bridge towards the Karma Kitchen site provides a strong peer network of independent food businesses, suppliers and hospitality operators. For food businesses producing from Bermondsey and serving the Waterloo market, the combination of Borough Market ingredient sourcing and direct road access west into SE1 makes the site one of the most practically positioned production bases in inner South London.
