About this space

Yurt Café is a beautiful and unique space for receptions, parties, dinners, networking events, talks & seminars within 5 minutes of Bank and Canary Wharf. It also has an interesting outdoor space with gazebos and outdoor seating and plenty of wild flowers. It's the only Yurt cafe in London with a log fire.
The Cafe is a Social Enterprise run by Royal Foundation of St. Katharine. We wanted to create a space that was warm, fun and welcoming to people from all walks of life.

The Cafe recently won the Time Out #LoveLondon Best Cafe Award 2016 for Poplar, Shadwell & Wapping. We source our food locally where possible (we’re starting to grow vegetables in our gardens), pay our staff a living wage and aim to keep our menu affordable and any surpluses are reinvested into our work in the community.
