Mexican restaurant chain Wahaca has opened a pop-up eatery made of shipping containers at London’s Southbank Centre.

---

The temporary restaurant, designed by architecture practice Softroom, is made of eight recycled shipping containers arranged in a two-storey, overhanging structure that accommodates 130 diners. It also has a bar and outdoor seating on the outside terrace of the Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall.

The shipping containers, which have been modified with large windows overlooking the Thames being added, are decorated with graffiti by renowned graffiti artists.

The project is part of the Southbank Centre's Festival of the World, a three-month celebration of art installations and events, and will remain there until the centre finds another use for the space.
