The Market – a 20,000 sq ft food hub – is set to open next year at the 22 Bishopsgate office development. The space will be run as a partnership between foodservice firm Rhubarb, grassroots talent champion Young British Foodies (YBFs) and building owner and developer AXA IM – Real Assets.
Occupying the 62-storey skyscraper’s second floor communal space, the Market will include a restaurant and adjoining terrace, a wine bar, street-food style kiosks and pop-ups that are continually rotated. The 450-cover space will also house an events and cultural area for talks, music and private events.
During the day, it will only be accessible to the 22 Bishopsgate community. However it will open its doors to the public outside business hours and on Saturdays and will also offer food and catering services directly to the 12,000 people working there. 22 Bishopsgate will also house a gym and wellbeing retreat, a curated ‘art walk’, a business club, auditorium, meeting spaces, cycle hub, and London’s highest free public viewing gallery.
