LabTech harvests the goods with signing of The Spread for Hawley Wharf Camden

Leading property investment company, LabTech, has announced the signing of London-based Food Market operator The Spread, at Hawley Wharf Camden.

The market, covering approximately 4,000 sq ft, lies at the heart of the scheme, set to be surrounded by an array of retailers to create a vibrant central plaza on Hawley Wharf Camden’s ground floor. The outdoor market will be home to over 40 independent traders, providing a vast array of food and drink, focused on fresh produce.

The Spread have operated food markets in London for over five years, with experience throughout the city in areas such as Finchley, Hackney, Southbank, White City, and Camden itself. Using simple turnover-based agreements they make it easy and affordable for traders to book space, in turn making the markets accessible for businesses and customers alike. The Spread’s Trade Partners have included both start-ups and established brands across the capital, connecting producers directly with consumers in a community-led environment.

Commenting on the signing, Veronika Chrascova, Asset Manager at LabTech said: “The Spread adds yet another point of difference for Hawley Wharf Camden, following the signings of Curzon cinema, Butchers Salon, and 10 F&B brands, all now committed to opening within the development. The open space at the heart of the scheme has been designed with such a use in mind, and no doubt The Spread will be able to replicate their success across London at Hawley Wharf Camden, bringing a community-focused offer to this key area.”

Mike Norledge, Managing Director at The Spread, added: “We have operated across London for a number of years, and have an approach that makes our markets accessible for everyone. Camden has always championed independents and emerging brands, so our operation will sit perfectly within Hawley Wharf Camden. The pandemic has encouraged entrepreneurship, and we are looking forward to working with people in Camden who have embraced this spirit, and we encourage local residents to Camden as well as those further afield to contact us, if they are interested in bringing their business to Hawley Wharf Camden, at The Spread’s produce market.”

Bordered by Chalk Farm Road to the west and Regent’s Canal to the east, with a prime frontage on Camden High Street, Hawley Wharf Camden’s canal-side development is set to be a major attraction in North London, serving Camden’s 30 million visitors a year, equivalent to around 80,000 visitors every day prior to lockdown.

Colliers and CBRE represent Hawley Wharf Camden, The Spread dealt direct.
