Camden will soon host the latest outpost of Bleecker Burger, the chain crowned the world’s best by Time Out in July 2026. The new restaurant will occupy two units at 45-46 Middle Yard, Camden Lock Place, near Dingwalls and the Camden Lock end of Camden Market.
The Camden site will be Bleecker’s tenth in London and its first in north London. The company confirmed the branch will offer both dine-in and delivery, though it has not yet set a precise opening date. A spokesperson told Time Out the launch is expected this summer.

What to expect from the menu
Bleecker’s signature burger, which secured its global title, features dry-aged beef, cheese described as "as orange as the Waterloo sunset," and seeded buns toasted to order. Time Out’s five-star review called the formula "stripped-back but hugely satisfying," with a focus on quality ingredients.
The Camden location will follow the same menu as Bleecker’s other sites. These include branches in Spitalfields, Victoria, Bloomberg Arcade, Westfield, London Bridge, Seven Dials Market, Baker Street, and Soho. A delivery-only kitchen in Battersea also operates under the same brand.

Why Camden was chosen
Middle Yard, where the new restaurant will open, sits at the heart of Camden Market’s food and retail hub. The area attracts high footfall from both locals and tourists, making it a strategic choice for Bleecker’s expansion. The site’s proximity to Camden Lock and Dingwalls adds to its appeal for diners.
Bleecker’s decision to open in Camden reflects the borough’s growing reputation as a destination for independent food operators. The chain’s move follows other high-profile openings in the area, including Dumbo’s second London location, which was also reported by Time Out in August 2026.

Bleecker has not announced an exact opening date for the Camden branch. Residents and visitors can monitor the company’s Instagram account, @bleeckerburger, for updates. The site at 45-46 Middle Yard is currently under preparation, with no further details on construction timelines released.
