The London leg of Thrive Street 2025 takes place on the second consecutive weekend across October 24 to October 26 at the iconic Truman Brewery in Shoreditch. Walking distance from Brick Lane and surrounded by many local indie shops and artists, the venue choice is a no-brainer. 

All participating SME's have earned a spot on the well-curated roster, but some honourable mentions include The House of Spectacles, a pair of motivated gamechangers who want to 'change the way you feel in your glasses, forever' and Wanderlust Life, a woman-owned handmade jewellery business made with intention and designed to 'make a statement, capture memories and spark joy'. Then there’s also Amamus, one of the first UK coffee companies to achieve B Corp certification, with its mission centred on delivering positive impact and extraordinary coffee. Sounds pretty good, right? 

Whether you're visiting to shop incredible local brands, hear fresh ideas on the grand stage or simply meet the people shaping our very future – let's be honest, they're a fairly inspirational lot – you're guaranteed to have a blast at Thrive Street this year. We'll see you there.
