The Upper Place, London’s newest food hall which opened in Holloway this summer has just announced two new vendors that will join this vibrant and exciting market – The Boil Club, with their signature platters of boiled seafood (opening on 20th November) and Pad Thai Café who will bring the tantalising flavours of Thailand to this North London hotspot (opening on 27th November).

These new independent vendors will continue to add to the eclectic and diverse mix of options in this all-day dining space, which is the first of its kind in the immediate area. The Upper Place sits atop much-loved community cornerstone and Holloway Road stalwart; Nag’s Head Market.
