Design, you say? District, you say? Canteen, you say?

It’s not often we get down to Greenwich Peninsula. Maybe it takes Diana Ross at The O2 to do it. Or a Jake maybe, like we used to do on those rooftops at those luxury apartments. But that was then, this is now and we think we have the perfect excuse: the opening of the Design District Canteen.

Design District, you ask, as well you might. Yeah, it’s a district. For design. A bunch of buildings thrown up by some of the best/most interesting/most expensive architects operating today to house the creative industries. Designers, writers, web people, erm, that’s all we can think of but them.

Anyways, even creative people need to eat and so someone high up has created the concept of the Design District Canteen. Don’t worry, it’s not a canteen in the regular sense of the word, like you’d have in a school or an office. It’s a collection of six street food outlets, nice ones, spanning the globe from Malaysia to Venezuela to North East India to some backwater known as Great Britain.

And anyone can go and try it out in its funny little glass bubble of a building. You don’t even have to be creative. As long as you can remember your PIN you’re in.
