Boxpark to launch Boxhall City site in 2023
The company has agreed a 15-year lease with TfL, the site’s freehold owners, for the historic Metropolitan Arcade building which first opened in 1912 and is located close to Liverpool Street station
Boxpark has announced its Boxhall sibling concept is set to open next year, which will offer food and drink from local, independent food traders and restaurant operators.
The company has agreed a 15-year lease with TfL, the site’s freehold owners, for the historic Metropolitan Arcade building which first opened in 1912 and is located close to Liverpool Street station.
Due to open in Summer 2023, Boxhall City will be an all-day social dining experience including food, drink and events all under one roof. Alongside the food offerings, the venue will be home to signature bars specialising in a quality range of draught, tank and craft beers.
The new site proposals include 16 kitchen units, and two internal bars, subject to planning permission. The 17,000 sq. ft building has a ground floor and a small pre-existing mezzanine with 266 internal seating covers.
The new Boxhall site is part of an expansion plan that includes its recent announcement of the debut BoxHall concept in Bristol, with further sites to be announced later this year.
Roger Wade, founder and CEO of Boxpark, said: “We are delighted to sign this new Boxhall site with TfL in the heart of the City, where Boxpark was born 10 years ago. Our team have worked extremely hard to secure the Met Arcade – a fantastic, historical site built in the Victoria era, originally the entrance to Liverpool Street Station.
“We are excited to repurpose the building and make it home to a premium Food, Beer and Music Hall – BoxHall, whilst retaining its character and feel.”
