Market Place heads to Vauxhall for third London food hall
Situated in the arches next door to Vauxhall station, Market Place Vauxhall will house twelve restaurant spaces, a standalone bar, a DJ booth, and seating for 200 people.
It will operate alongside the group's locations in Peckham and Hounslow.
Market Place London aims to support independent business owners and remove barriers for start-up food and drink vendors to start or grow, directly on prime high streets across the capital. Market Place London's expansion into Vauxhall will follow the same model as its previous launches and will focus on offering affordable street food stalls for small and local businesses.
“We focus our attention on London neighbourhoods rather than central locations as we want to create amazing food and drink destinations on people’s doorsteps,” says Blake Henderson, operations director at Market Place.
“With the onset of hybrid working following the pandemic, people are spending more time in their own neighbourhoods, so we feel there will be strong demand for more Market Place sites across the city. We also offer small and local food businesses prime opportunities at a fraction of the cost to give them spaces for their ideas to grow.
“We’re very excited to open our third food hall in Vauxhall and hope that it will become a buzzing hub of activity in the area just like our Peckham and Hounslow locations.”
The food offering at the Vauxhall food hall will explore global cuisines from local operators including wood-fired pizza from Made in Puglia; Mexican tacos by Hermano Tacos; Sri Lankan hoppers and kottu from Karapincha Kitchen; and Jamaican jerk chicken and rum punch by Rudie’s Jerk Shack.
The full line-up of operators will be announced in early September ahead of Market Place Vauxhall opening its doors to the public on Friday 23 September.
