Trade Union is a hidden gem in Tower Hill devised by the brains behind successful bar group Grand Union, and on top of its bustling bar and kitchen, also promises an on-site barbers, a florist, photo-booth and more.
Selling themselves as more of a 'lifestyle' more than anything, Trade Union is something of a community hub where you can work during the day alongside copious amounts of coffee courtesy of Vagabond Coffee, and make a smooth transition into evening drinks and tasty eats later on in the night.
The plot is set in a huge warehouse with signature exposed brick and industrial feels, with the kitchen serving up a hefty selection of oozing, sourdough pizzas. The venue has a two separate private rooms available to hire, and for larger events, can be hired out as a whole - with a full capacity of 700 strong.

Trade Union Wapping - London Bar and Restaurant Review
Trade Union is under the umbrella of Grand Union and it’s been rumoured to mirror the fun and laid-back atmosphere of its older siblings. With a more than stressful week behind me, I was rooting for the whispers to be true. The Venue I’m gonna cut right to the chase; Trade Union has a slide…
