New Boxpark venue to open in Camden later this month- everything you need to know

This comes as the beloved Shoreditch venue is set to close its doors after its 12-year lease has come to an end.

A campaign by the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) has been launched to save it arguing that the venue is a “vital part of east London’s social and cultural fabric”.

The campaign has seen over 10,000 sign-ups so far to support an extension of the lease.

While this site faces closure, Boxpark is set to open the Camden venue in late September and another site on Liverpool Street later this year.

What do we know about Boxpark Camden?

Boxpark Camden is set to open on Camden High Street, on the site that was formerly Buck Street Market later this month.

The three-floor market will include 60 independent food and retail traders alongside two bars, complete with a rooftop terrace.

Residents will include Yorkshire Burrito, Black Bear Burger, Chip sensation Poptata and Philippe Conticini, famed for the viral giant croissant.

It will operate seven days a week, seeing both Fridays and Saturdays open until 11.30pm.

There will also be a programme of cultural and community events, including weekly quizzes, comedy nights, live music and resident DJ sets that celebrate the area’s rich cultural heritage.

Ben McLaughlin, Chief Operating Officer said: “This has been such an exciting and rewarding challenge for Boxpark so far, and one we cannot wait to see the results of. It’s no secret we have a love of locations beaming with culture and community, and Camden is no different. The iconic town has been a fan-favourite for years, boasting a world of food, music and the arts that is clearly aligned with us.

“We are committed to flying the flag for independent businesses across the country, and this restoration will allow us to continue this in one of the most significant takeovers London will see this year. Following our Liverpool opening earlier this year, this next step for us is just the beginning of our upcoming expansion plans, and we cannot wait to see the response from the Camden community.”
