GAIL’s opens at Elephant Park

Bakery and café concept GAIL’s has opened within the casual dining zone at Lendlease’s Elephant Park in London.

Joining the Zone One London neighbourhood, GAIL’s has opened in a 1,740 sq ft unit on the corner of Sayer Street and Deacon Street, previously occupied by Bobo Social.

The new space offers the bakery chain’s full menu, which includes its signature pastries, cakes, bread, and house blend coffee.

GAIL’s joins a number of food and beverage brands at Sayer Street’s dining hub including the recently-opened Asian street food restaurant and bar NOKO, as well as Filishack, Pot & Rice, Koi Ramen, Tasty Jerk, and Miko’s Ecuadorian and Spanish Kitchen.

Guy Thomas, head of retail and place assets at Lendlease, said: “Our leasing strategy for Elephant Park is to ensure that the needs and wants of our community are always met and  reflected in the tenant mix. To evolve this already thriving London neighbourhood, we take great care when choosing the blend of operators to ensure we  can achieve  that aim and also  bring something new that perfectly complements our line-up of dynamic local businesses. GAIL’s is a great fit for the high street environment we have created at Elephant Park.”

The announcement follows the news that Venezuelan all-day eatery Arepa & Co has signed for its latest site on Elephant Parks’ Ash Avenue, and is set to expand the variety of cuisines available within the development.
