BOXPARK, the award-winning dining, leisure, and retail operator, has just announced that its original flagship Shoreditch location will remain open until end of September 2025.
The news follows overwhelming support from the landlords Ballymore and Hammerson plus the local community, its key stakeholders including Greater London Authority (GLA) and London Boroughs of Hackney and Tower Hamlets and its loyal customers.
Since its opening in 2011, BOXPARK Shoreditch has become a beloved cultural hotspot and a cornerstone of the local community, showcasing the vibrancy of independent businesses and attracting over 1.25 million visitors each year. The venue has played a pivotal role in the regeneration of Shoreditch, driving economic growth and supporting local employment.
BOXPARK has a storied history of urban regeneration and community engagement, and the Shoreditch site has hosted over 250 independent brands, generating almost £100M economic value for the area and creating 270 jobs per year.
BOXPARK COO Ben McLaughlin comments: “The support we’ve received from the community has been nothing short of inspiring. The extension of our lease provides certainty to the 47 small, independent businesses and hundreds of their employees across our Shoreditch site. We are absolutely thrilled to continue our journey in Shoreditch and remain committed to providing a platform for independent businesses and a vibrant space for our customers. As we move forward, we look forward to making the most of our site and partners support to ensure that BOXPARK Shoreditch continues to thrive. The team is dedicated to enhancing the customer experience and supporting its tenants. The venue will host a series of events and initiatives to celebrate its extended lease and the community that made it possible.
