People of east London, cast your eyes to Canada Water this spring, as the area is set to undergo a massive £4 billion regeneration project. At its centre sits Corner Corner, a food, drinks and music venue which looks like something seriously worth getting excited about.
Industry mavericks Kerb (think bustling food halls) and Broadwick Live (the venue operator behind superclubs Drumsheds and Printworks) have teamed up to serve up life’s great joys – food, drink and music – under one shiny new roof. The collaborative venue, which is spread over 18,000 square feet, promises a revolving line-up of independent London food vendors, jazz, funk, soul and disco selectors and a contemporary take on the jazz club.
But that isn’t all – oh no. As well as an events space, Corner Corner will also boast London’s largest vertical farm. The sustainable food initiative, run by Harvest London, aims to supply ‘hyper-local’ produce to the venue’s food hall and cafe, as well as provide goods for restaurants across the capital.
As sustainable music/food/drinks crossovers go, Corner Corner seems as good as any, and a welcome addition to the east London fray. Granting all goes well with licensing and planning permission, it’s set to open this spring.
Talking of sustainable farming… Did you hear that vertical farms in east London are already growing greens from fish poo?
