History

Established in 2003.

The Fox@ExCel bar and restaurant is an exceptional venue located in a listed historic building alongside the Royal Victoria Dock. This old tobacco warehouse dates back to 1855 when the first of East London’s ‘modern’ Royal docks was built to service large cargo ships. The dock was a commercial success and became a vital part of the international shipping trade for a century.

However, 100 years later it was a very different story. The decline and closure of the Royal Docks became inevitable as the shipping industry became increasingly mechanized and adopted containerization. This led to the loss of thousands of jobs and decimated the local economy.

Today our building, Warehouse K, forms part of only two blocks of brick warehouses on the Royal Victoria Dock to survive the London Blitz and the demolitions that followed the dock closures of the 1980s.

The revitalisation of London’s Docklands has taken concerted effort over several decades and is now a thriving new sector in London.
