German Kraft Brewery has been appointed to operate the revival of the popular Model Market in Lewisham, London.

The development, which is scheduled to open later in the summer, is expected to be a street food destination that will also be a hub for traders, local creatives and the wider community.

As the site operator, German Kraft said it will bring its signature craft beer and social, community-led taproom atmosphere to the London space.

German Kraft was originally founded in 2017 at Mercato Metropolitano in Elephant and Castle, which has seen shut to make way for a new development

Felix Bollen, co-founder of German Kraft and Mosaik Hospitality, said: “We’re excited to bring Model Market back to life as a next-generation social destination for Lewisham, a place that feels open, dynamic and deeply connected to the local community. We’ll be continuing the community social hub we ran in Elephant & Castle over the last nine years.”

Paul Redden, centre director at Lewisham Shopping Centre, added: “We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with German Kraft to bring the new Model Market to Lewisham.

“German Kraft’s proven track record operating vibrant, successful venues means they know how to create an environment that’s welcoming, energetic and full of character. We can’t wait to see it all come to life when the Model Market officially opens.”
