Just over three months since its launch last December, it is great to see the positive contribution that Boxpark Wembley is already making to Wembley Park, the rapidly transforming neighbourhood fast becoming a landmark destination with community, culture, food and entertainment at its heart.
Created by visionary entrepreneur Roger Wade, Boxpark Wembley follows in the footsteps of the hugely successful Boxparks in Shoreditch and Croydon. This newest Boxpark is a joint venture with Quintain, who created the opportunity for it to come to Wembley Park.
Home to over 20 food outlets and 20,000 sq. ft. of dedicated event space, Boxpark Wembley is the largest site opening in London to date. With its array of dining options offered in cutting-edge surroundings, the venue is a fitting addition to Wembley Park’s rapidly emerging creative scene. Covering anything from sushi to veggie burgers, including KoolCha – owned by Michelin-starred chef Rohit Ghai – it is a culinary mecca for all palates and budgets.
However, thinking of Boxpark Wembley exclusively in terms of food and drink would be to underplay it. Drawing on Wembley’s rich heritage as a global events destination, the venue offers an exciting and dynamic events programme that is built around the local community: from family film clubs to hip hop karaoke, there’s always something going on to make visitors feel at home, in between a slice of pizza and a Bombay burrito.
Working together with emerging local artists and established talent from across the capital, Boxpark further enhances Wembley Park’s reputation as a vibrant and connected neighbourhood, rooted in its local community. It is a fitting addition to Olympic Way which is getting a major make-over at the moment
As recent sold-out events have proven, including Indian festival of Holi and Shamrock Sessions, a St Patrick’s Day tribute for the Irish community of Brent, Boxpark Wembley’s ingredients to success lie in inclusivity and celebration of a diverse local community.
