Arcade Food Hall

Located just off Tottenham Court Road, in London’s Centre Point, Arcade Food Hall showcases our core philosophy of creating multiple unique brands, and championing emerging food and drink talent, all under one roof.

Nine new brands fill the space: Plaza Khao Gaeng, Arcade’s flagship southern Thai restaurant; Hero Indian Fast Food, serving up North Indian street food; Middle Eastern shawarma kitchen Shatta & Toum; American diner-style food at Manna; Indonesian street food from Bebek! Bebek!; day-to-night deli Arcade Provisions; and Japanese sushi and an omakase experience from Sushi Kamon. There is also the Benham & Froud Jelladrome from dessert connoisseurs Bompas & Parr.

Drinks come from our destination bar, and are inspired by a time of day: choose from Café, All Day Party, Timeless or Late Night Disco lists, which cover everything from the classic Manhattan to a Som Tam Mojito. A fully-packed calendar of events completes the line up.
