Why London Fields

London Fields sits at Containerville on the Regent's Canal, one of East London's most distinctive addresses.

The site is housed within a purpose-built container development on the canal towpath, giving it a character and energy quite different from a conventional industrial kitchen block.

The location puts you at the heart of one of the city's most active food communities. Hackney, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green and Dalston are all within easy reach, with the City fringe just to the south. Broadway Market is a short distance to the north — a natural sales outlet and a strong source of specialist ingredients from independent producers.

The site is more self-contained than our other locations — no kitchen porter service and a unique 280sqft unit configuration, slightly larger than our standard small kitchen and configured differently from the rest of the portfolio.
