Boxhall City is a new food hall concept set to open in Spring 2025 in London Liverpool Street. It is BOXPARK Group’s newest dining concept since the launch of its Shoreditch Site in 2011. With spaces for thirteen food vendors and kitchens, the site is seeking innovative, premium food and beverage brands to fill the food hall.
Unlike BOXPARK’s iconic shipping container design, BOXHALL sets to transform under-used city centre locations into refined dining spaces with focus on heritage and industrial buildings.
Boxhall City will be located in the restored Metropolitan Arcade – an Edwardian arcade located opposite Liverpool Street station, as part of a 15-year deal with Places for London, TfL’s property company and the site’s freehold owners. The scheme aims to cater to the 135 million annual visitors to the station, and the 615,000 City workers on the doorstep.
With options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the arcade also boasts a 3,000 sq ft roof terrace with panoramic views across the City, available for post-work drinks, private hire and corporate events.

Ben McLaughlin, COO at BOXPARK, said: “We have seen immense success with our award-winning BOXPARK concept, and are incredibly proud to have played a role in in the success and growth of a huge number of our popular street food brands.
Now, we are excited to see similar success with our BOXHALL City destination. Unlike our BOXPARK sites, BOXHALL City will re-animate a historic slice of London – an Edwardian shopping arcade – with a unique mix of dining and drink experiences for discerning foodies…
With its unparalleled location by Liverpool Street, its attractive, historical setting, and our unwavering commitment to finding the best that London’s food and drink scene has to offer, we’ve no doubt that BOXHALL City will fast become Londoners’ favourite foodie escape when it opens at the end of the year.”
Mike Sinclair, director at Macaulay Sinclair, added: “We’re really excited to be partnering with the BOXPARK team on the interior architecture and design of its latest concept at BOXHALL City. The new Metropolitan Arcade location is steeped in history and its heritage is something we’re keen to preserve and celebrate in our designs.
“Having worked with major hospitality brands on protected sites including listed buildings, we understand the importance of sensitivity and respecting the building’s history, while still contributing to each brand’s individual ethos and story. We look forward to unveiling more about our BOXHALL City concept very soon, and for the public to experience this unique new venue.”
BOXHALL City is planned to open by Spring 2025, and feature thirteen fully fitted kitchens ranging from 150 sq ft to 400 sq ft, alongside two bars, seating 600 covers on the ground floor and 200 on the roof terrace. The BOXHALL City team will consider proposals from candidates that have a minimum of two years’ experience operating in a customer-facing environment, including those who are looking to relocate or launch a new concept.
