Boxhall City

More than a decade after it first opened as a pop-up, the original branch of open-air food hall Boxpark looks set to vacate its Shoreditch site shortly to make way for new development Bishopsgate Goodsyard, but the East End won’t have to wait long for an exciting replacement for the pioneering. Set to take over the historic Metropolitan Arcade, which first opened in 1912, Boxhall Liverpool Street is the first of a series of planned spin-off concepts and will open in spring 2025. Unlike the original Boxpark venues, this 17,000 square foot space won’t be made from shipping containers, instead taking inspiration from the popular Chelsea Market in Manhattan. It will feature 13 food spaces including both kitchens and retail venues, plus several bars and a 3000 square foot roof terrace boasting views across the City.
