Description
The Company: 

For 13 years we have been offering our famous EAT.DRINK.PLAY experience with unrivalled street food, bars, shops and entertainment all under one roof. 

Where else could you eat Greek gyros and catch a Harry Styles party all in one place? Or play crazy golf, eat a Bao and watch Stormzy perform? Nowhere!

In 2011 we created the world’s first pop-up dining and shopping destination in the heart of Shoreditch before opening venues in other iconic locations in Croydon and Wembley. 

We are growing quickly with 5 sites now open across the UK, and with further sites across London, Bristol and Birmingham on the horizon, it’s a really exciting time to join BOXPARK.
