What an absolutely overwhelming response and wave of beautiful words to our announcement. I would be lying if I said it was all read with dry eyes. Here are some of the comments that have made us even more proud of what we have created together with you all. What a joy and what a privilege it has been to create all this warmth and community in an otherwise cold part of London. So much love to you all, and hope as many of you as possible can make it tomorrow from 4.30pm for a final au revoir before we pass the baton on to the next operator (more info to come). 🤎
Big changes❗️
After thinking the big changes this year would be to open the workshop and expanding the business, we are doing the absolute opposite.
Me (Mariell) and Lizzy are leaving our lovechild for other ventures, hand in hand, grateful and ever in awe of what we have created together with you all.

After a long and much needed break over Christmas we both came to the conclusion it is not sustainable for us to keep on pushing and grinding in the capacity that we have done over the last few years. It has been hard to realise that we are indeed only just human.
We dont have enough words to explain the love we have for the Benk&Bo team, the memories created and every customer who has been so loyal through the last years. Hospitality is hard at the best of times. Hospitality in the city of London post covid with the current cost of living pushes the limits of even our perpetual optimism.

We are excited for what comes next - if anything we are ready to let go of something we love and feel lucky to have been a part of.
The last day of Benk&Bo as you know it will be on Friday 3rd of February. Our private events will run until 13th Feb. 
What happens next is in the unknown, although it is likely that another operator will continue running the space in whatever form they decide is best for them.
Make sure to come around this week, or if you’re feeling extra then come join our BYOB or drink-us-dry leaving do on Friday 3rd from 4.30pm 🍻
Catch you on the other side <3

Forever grateful!
Mariell & Lizzy

6.30pm to 9pm - £5 includes a drink upon arrival. Sign up on now. In collaboration with ♟️
If it’s your first Monday back in the new year and you’re feeling a little bit like this guy here, then I’d suggest heading over to for a little injection of dream state visions as a confirmation that your not the only spaced out human today 🤖
It’s three weeks and apparently a whole season (swipe pic) since we were here last. Excited for the new year and whatever it’s got in store. Come around for coffee and hangs this week, we’re here Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm 👋
Been repotting plants, fixing chairs, changing light bulbs and rewiring appliances this weekend - all ready for 2023!
PS. Don’t be fooled by our dark light box tomorrow morning, which seems to have entered full hibernation, I just couldn’t figure out how to rewire that one quite yet. See ya 8am 👍
On Monday we are back and open for the first time in 2023. Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm.
Hope to see y’all there ☕️
