Tucked away in the heart of Hackney Wick, Unlock is more than a restaurant — it’s a hybrid creative space where dining and artistic expression exist side by side. Minimal yet atmospheric interiors set the stage for rotating exhibitions from local artists, while the menu mirrors the same creative energy: seasonal, experimental, and visually striking dishes designed to engage every sense.
From intimate book clubs and pop-ups to collaborative community events, Unlock continues to blur the line between gallery and gathering place — attracting creatives, food lovers, and curious locals alike.
“We chose to open our space in Hackney Wick because no other area felt more fitting to express our passion for art and food. This neighbourhood has long been at the heart of London’s creative scene, shaped by artists, makers, and a strong sense of community. We wanted to share food and art in a way that feels open and accessible, bringing people together without barriers.” — Anna Masello
As part of Hackney Art Week, Unlock will also showcase works by Jay Yeomans, Russell Bamber, and Hunaid Nagaria.
