Silo London

East London's Zero-Waste Gem with a Modern Twist

Located in the heart of Hackney Wick, Silo London is an award-winning, eco-conscious restaurant that’s redefining Modern European dining. Housed in a converted warehouse just a short stroll from some of East London's most popular music venues, Silo is known for its sleek industrial style, open kitchen, and commitment to sustainability. Everything from the furniture to the food philosophy is designed with zero waste in mind—think house-milled flour, on-site composting, and upcycled décor.

Silo's location makes it a prime pre-show stop, especially for gigs in the Hackney Wick or Stratford areas. The service is known to be friendly and efficient—ideal if you're on a tight schedule before doors open. The menu changes regularly but often includes shareable plates and quick mains, making it easy to dine without delay. The vibe is relaxed yet trendy, with a buzzing atmosphere that still lets you hear your tablemates without shouting.
