On-site German Beer Brewery

German Kraft was born out of the desire to redefine traditional methods of brewing beer by creating clean, fresh beer brewed and served at Kingsland Locke, straight from the tank. In doing so, German Kraft reduces its CO2 footprint by 75% in comparison to the average brewery, avoiding unnecessary packaging and transportation. The result is unfiltered, unpasteurised and crisp craft beer brewed only using water, malt, hops and yeast. Delicious.
German Kraft Brewery opened its first brewpub in the sustainable market Mercato Metropolitano.

On-site Sustainable Gin Distillery

Jim and Tonic believe it's about time quality spirits and sustainability went hand in hand. Distilled onsite at Kraft Dalston, Jim and Tonic use sustainable production methods to reduce waste water and conserve resources. Flavours include London Dry, Mediterranean, Rhubarb and Hopped Grapefruit as well as limited edition batches. These gins are then served up on East London’s best G&T and Gin Cocktail bar menu!

Onsite Gourmet Kebab Restaurant

Honed from techniques in Michelin starred kitchens and from Middle Eastern and South Asian cooking inspirations, Le Bab brings a new approach to the ancient dish, cooked on a wood and charcoal-filled robata. All made with seasonal and organic ingredients, Le Bab's new menu at KRAFT Dalston runs from snacks to mezze, with the main event a selection of delicious gourmet kebabs served on fresh sourdough baked onsite.
‍
Vegetarian, Vegan and Halal-friendly options also available.

Aparthotel upstairs

There's no place like a hotel. Said no one, ever. But what if your place to stay felt more like your space to live? More legroom than a hotel. More style than a serviced apartment. Where you can eat, sleep and unwind in your own beautifully designed space. With all the stuff you actually need to continue your everyday, even when you’re away from home. Made to be lived in, not just slept in, Locke is a place you can connect with yourself, and the community. Beautiful but comfortable. Subtle but assertive. Hip but inclusive. Another way to stay.
