CHOP CHOP LONDON, CAMDEN @CHOPCHOPLDN

Nestled in the hustle and bustle of Camden Lock Market you’ll nd the latest outpost of Chop Chop London. The locale is a destination with a rich history that has always had something of an unconventional edge, so it’s an ideal spot for this texture equality champion. “Camden has been on our radar for quite some time – a perfect match for our audacious spirit,” says founder Kaye Sotomi. “We seamlessly blend into the lock’s timeless aesthetic while standing out in all our edgy glory.” The store is meticulously designed with minimalism in mind by First from spacelab_ and stays true to its consistent brand identity and sustainable ethos. You’ll nd recycled plastic worktops and kitchen surfaces from Surface Matter and plasticiet, alongside biodegradable cork ooring from Granorte. Those comfy chairs are courtesy of Maletti. Its also expanded digitally with self-service kiosks from Allsee Technologies that allow customers to explore, book, and check-in independently.
