Karma Kitchen - commercial kitchens

At Karma Kitchen, we help food businesses access professional kitchen space without the high upfront costs or long-term commitments that come with setting up your own facility.

Whether you're a market trader needing reliable prep space, a delivery brand looking for your first private kitchen, or a growing food business ready to take the next step, we have a space that works for where you are right now.

We operate six sites across inner London – Bermondsey, Hackney, London Fields, Crystal Palace, Wimbledon and Wood Green – with options ranging from flexible shared kitchen access through to private production units on 12-month licences.

Every kitchen is fully fitted and ready to use from day one, with equipment, utilities and services all included in a single monthly fee. No hidden extras, no build costs, no dilapidations at the end of your term.
