Opportunity for catering concessions in parks

Tower Hamlets has many beautiful parks and open spaces used by both residents and visitors to the borough.

We have a great opportunity for local businesses to trade in our parks for the summer season.

We are seeking to license:

- catering vans
- catering operators at fixed pitches
- healthy street food trucks

We have opportunities in parks across the borough for vendors who have Public Liability Insurance and Food Hygiene Certificate.

If you are interested in applying, please email parks@towerhamlets.gov.uk.

The Victoria and Alexandra Building

An application has been submitted for the change of use of the Victoria and Alexandra (V&A) Building on the west side of Victoria Park.

The proposal is to convert the building into a café serving park visitors.
The prospective operators also intend to hire out space within the new café for children’s parties.

To facilitate the prospective change of use, the V&A building will soon close to new bookings.

Current hire agreements and bookings until late summer 2026 will be honoured.

Further details about the proposal will be available shortly on our planning web pages

The Hub building—located on the eastern side of Victoria Park continues to be available for bookings.

For further information, please contact: victoriapark@towerhamlets.gov.uk
