Allegra is set within The Stratford Hotel and Lofts located within the Manhattan Loft Gardens skyscraper, the ambitious East London venture by Harry Handlesman, founder of Chiltern Firehouse and the restored St Pancras Hotel. The spectacular double-cantilevered 42-storey building is designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and situated in the upcoming cultural hub of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, East London. The 7th floor is given over to Allegra, a restaurant by former Chiltern Firehouse head chef, Patrick Powell, whose ingredients for his imaginative dishes are sourced by Pale Green Dot farm in Sussex, where Allegra has secured its own land. With seasonal dishes served amongst cedar pathways and landscaped gardens overlooking the Olympic Park, Allegra has all the components for a destination restaurant that draws crowds from across the capital and beyond. Allegra is designed to align with the rest of the atmosphere of The Stratford, featuring pieces from Space Copenhagen’s collections from Stellar Works, &Tradition and Gubi. Materials have been uniquely chosen to add warmth and comfort – tactile natural fabrics and beautiful timbers. The restaurant has a generous terrace with beautiful gardens and views of the city. Alongside this, there is an outdoor fireplace and kitchen for guests to enjoy. Space Copenhagen’s Signe Bindslev Henriksen and Peter Bundgaard Rützou comment: “We are fascinated by the location and having the opportunity to be a part of creating a future identity for Stratford. We look forward to spending a whole day at the Stratford once travel allows, starting with drinks around the fireplace in the lobby, ascending the staircase into the mezzanine club for intimate conversation and a light snack and completing the evening by dining at Allegra."
