Imbiba has agreed a deal with Canary Wharf Group (CWG) to open a 65,000sq ft hospitality and leisure venue at 12 Bank Street.

The leisure, lifestyle and entertainment investor will house some of its brands at the new site, which is set to open next year.

They include a 78-bedroom House of Gods hotel, an Amazing Grace music venue, a rooftop bar overlooking Eden Dock, and a new events facility to be operated by Camm & Hooper.

The venue is located adjacent to the new Eden Dock, an urban location offering access to water and green spaces designed to enhance biodiversity at Canary Wharf.

“Canary Wharf is becoming a world-class destination for hospitality and leisure,” says Kieran Sherlock, partner and property director at Imbiba.

“We cannot wait to bring our exciting and cutting-edge concepts to this truly remarkable building in the very heart of Canary Wharf.”

Imbiba's hospitality portfolio includes Farmer J, Pizza Pilgrims, F1 Arcade, 1Rebel, Little Houses Group, Clays, and House of Gods.

“[Imbiba's] line-up of world class brands will further enrich the provision of evening entertainment, provide event venues, and bring another hotel to the Wharf,” says Stuart Fyfe, MD of Retail, Leisure and Hospitality at CWG.

“We continue to enhance the offer at Canary Wharf across retail, leisure, hospitality and competitive socialising to curate a thriving seven-day destination for all those who work, live and visit the wharf.

“Visitors to Canary Wharf are at an all-time high, 7.5% up year to date compared to 2023, which saw 67.2m visitors and we continue to see strong demand across our retail, leisure and hospitality offer with 97% occupancy.”
