Enter our world

Behind the Doors

Canalside in Hackney Wick. Craft cocktails, hyper-regional Italian street food, art, and vinyl on the decks.

Not a restaurant with a drinks list. Not a bar with a kitchen annex. An archive salon where food, drink, art, and sound converge.

Hyper-regional Italian street food, rarely seen in London, refined for candlelight. Rotating signature cocktails, hand-crafted in-house, elevated for the lounge.

Who is Gwenda? We can't say. Come experience for yourself.

The door opens 4 July.

The team

Who we are

We already run The Pirate's Hub on this stretch of canal. Gwenda is what comes next. The canal, the studios, the late nights—we know this pocket of the Wick.

Gwenda grew up on the canal, among the artists and musicians of the Wick.
