// Boxpark to open new BoxHall concept in London next year
// BoxHall City will be an all-day social dining experience including food, drink and events all under one roof
Boxpark will open its first sibling concept ‘BoxHall’ to offer food and drink from local, independent food traders.
The new concept will launch in London in 2023 after Boxpark agreed on a 15-year lease with TfL, the site’s freehold owners.
BoxHall City will be an all-day social dining experience including food, drink and events all under one roof.

The new site proposals include 16 kitchen units, and two internal bars, subject to planning permission. The 17,000sq ft building has a ground floor and a small pre-existing mezzanine with 266 internal seating covers.
The new BoxHall site is part of Boxpark’s expansion plans following its recent announcement of the debut BoxHall concept in Bristol.
BoxHall City will be the first of its kind in London with further sites to be announced later this year.
“We are delighted to sign this new BoxHall site with TfL in the heart of the City, where Boxpark was born 10 years ago,” Boxpark founder and chief executive, Roger Wade said.
“Our team have worked extremely hard to secure the Met Arcade – a fantastic, historical site built in the Victoria era, originally the entrance to Liverpool Street Station. We are excited to repurpose the building and make it home to a premium Food, Beer and Music Hall – BoxHall, whilst retaining its character and feel.”
