Inside Out Contracts: Bringing Mexico to Canary Wharf with Wahaca
Creating a lively, fun, and inspiring space in London’s busy and bustling Canary Wharf is no small task. This location has a modern and exciting energy that demands eye-catching hospitality interiors that blend design, comfort, vibrancy and functionality.
A vibrant welcome – Wahaca’s striking design blends bold, colourful aesthetics with dynamic textures, creating an inviting and energetic atmosphere.
Wahaca, the UK’s beloved Mexican restaurant group, has always embraced this challenge. Known for its colourful, flavour-packed menu and immersive dining experiences, Wahaca’s venues reflect the vibrancy of Mexico through playful design and bold aesthetics. In 2024, Wahaca was named the UK’s Most Sustainable Restaurant Group by Which?magazine and was awarded a glowing three-star rating by the Sustainable Restaurant Association for its continued commitment to sustainability. Their latest project, in collaboration with Inside Out Contracts, takes this vision to new heights—creating a fresh, engaging, and stylish restaurant that invites guests to soak up the atmosphere as much as the food.
A Dining Experience That Pops
From the moment you step into Wahaca Canary Wharf, you are welcomed by an explosion of colour, texture, and carefully curated details that make the space feel both exciting and comfortable. The design blends eye-catching furniture with a warm, social atmosphere, encouraging diners to relax, connect, and enjoy a true taste of Mexico.
Bold and vibrant – Wahaca Canary Wharf’s striking mural and eclectic décor create a lively dining atmosphere.
One standout feature is a beautifully reclaimed oak tabletop—more than just a piece of furniture, it’s a conversation starter. Handcrafted by Inside Out Contracts, this table brings character to the space, with high-quality timber repurposed and given new life with striking hand-painted edging. It’s a small yet meaningful nod to the idea that great design can be both stunning and thoughtful, without sacrificing style.
