We strive to work closely with our traders, aiming to provide so much more than just a piece of pavement to trade from - Seven Dials Market is our next step in driving forward this industry and giving our street food start-ups a whole new platform on which to thrive."

Seven Dials Market will be the first bricks and mortar site for Kerb and will host a total of 26 independent food businesses.

Julia Wilkinson, portfolio and group restaurant strategy executive for landowner Shaftesbury added: "The announcement of these five emerging traders is an exciting next step for Seven Dials Market, and sets the benchmark for the quality of offering which visitors can expect when the doors open in September. We're thrilled to give young food and beverage brands the platform to be part of this thriving destination in the heart of London's West End."
