Site aims to redefine what it means to supply locally grown produce
Harvest London has launched what it claims is London’s largest integrated indoor vertical farm within Corner Corner in Canada Water.
The company said the cutting-edge facility would ”redefine sustainable food production, delivering fresh, locally grown produce to restaurants, retailers, and consumers across the city”.
Corner Corner is a new destination blending food, culture and community, and the farm has the capacity to produce 30 tonnes of fresh herbs, salads and specialist crops annually. It will directly supply the venue’s food hall and café, ensuring that dishes are prepared with produce grown just steps away from diners.
Additionally, Harvest London says the farm will serve as a model for an alternative approach to vertical farming: one that isn’t purely about scale but also about how vertical farms can be integrated into communities.
“Vertical farming is not just about maximising output; it’s about rethinking how we grow food in cities and the role food production plays in the urban landscape,” said Chris Davies, CEO of Harvest London. “At Corner Corner, we’re showcasing an approach that emphasises sustainability, quality, and engagement with the local community. This project demonstrates how cities can integrate food production in ways that enhance both environmental and social resilience.”
Beyond growing fresh produce, Harvest London noted that it is engaging with the local community through workshops, interactive experiences and educational programmes that inspire people to think differently about food and farming.
The project has been made possible through a partnership with British Land and Broadwick, and aims to showcase how urban spaces can be designed with resilience, sustainability, and community enrichment at their core.
“Each visit to Corner Corner offers a fresh experience that pushes creative boundaries,” said Simon Tracey, CEO of Broadwick. “It’s not just about scale, but about rethinking what spaces like this can do — from cultivating an environment where the most exciting talent in the jazz scene want to perform, to installing a one-of-a-kind vertical farm that makes sustainability both visually stunning and integral to the food on your plate.”
