The hype around Battersea just keeps building, baby! The newest addition to the area is Arcade Battersea - yup, from the same Arcade team that changed the drinking and dining game in Tottenham Court Road. Like its Central London sis, the new Arcade will pack loads of food and booze options into one tidy concept.

Get ready to have the culinary world at your fingertips, 'cos this place is gonna house kitchens cooking up 13 different cuisines. Arcade faves like Indian food from Hero, Nepali street dishes from Tipan Tapan and shawarma from Shatta & Toum will be on offer, and you'll also find new brands including Siu Siu's Cantonese comfort food and Thai dishes from Phed Power. But that's not all. In addition to the food hall, Arcade will have three killer restaurants: Manna, a smash-burger joint; Solis, a steak and chicken restaurant from the legends behind Tā Tā Eatery; and another outpost of Taiwanese spot Bao. Yum. 

Naturally, we're in it for the cocktails, and the Arcade crew is making our dreams come true with not one but TWO epic bars. The Tap Room will feature cocktails made with locally sourced ingredients and beers from both South London and international breweries, served from a whopping 32 taps. Casual. Meanwhile, ABC Bar will sling a menu of beloved classics that we can't wait to take for a test drive. Safe to say Arcade Battersea did not come to play...

Opening in July
