# Converted Granary Cafes This London Restaurant is Housed Inside an Old Granary Building By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-12-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/granary-building References: [caravanrestaurants](http://www.caravanrestaurants.co.uk/kings-cross.html) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/CaravanResto/) Housed inside an old granary building, Caravan King's Cross provides a cozy space for locals or those attending Trend Hunter’s [London innovation conference](http://www.futurefestival.com/london) to sit and enjoy a delicious meal. Not only is the interior Instagram-worthy, but the outside of the restaurant also features a beautiful fountain installation that makes the space even more unique. Caravan King's Cross is a restaurant and take-out coffee bar found on the edge of London's Granary Square. The restaurant itself is housed inside an old granary building, which gives the space a soft, industrial vibe. Those dining in will be able to enjoy the space, along with the diverse menu of global dishes, while those coming for take-out can enjoy exceptional coffee from the on-site roastery. Open for breakfast, post-dinner drinks and everything in between, Caravan King's Cross combines the best of old and new London. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Converted Granary Buildings:** Leverage the trend of converting old buildings into innovative spaces, such as cafes or restaurants, to provide unique dining experiences. - **Instagram-worthy Interiors:** Incorporate visually appealing interior designs in restaurants and cafes to attract customers looking for aesthetically pleasing environments for dining and social media sharing. - **On-site Roasteries:** Integrate on-site roasteries in coffee bars to offer customers high-quality and freshly brewed coffee, enhancing the coffee drinking experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can explore converting old buildings into unique dining spaces and incorporating visually appealing interior designs to create memorable experiences for customers. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can capitalize on the trend of on-site roasteries in coffee bars to offer customers freshly brewed and high-quality coffee, aligning with the growing demand for premium coffee experiences. - **Architecture and Design:** The architecture and design industry can benefit from the trend of converting old buildings into innovative spaces, exploring the creative possibilities of repurposing structures and creating visually stunning interiors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expansive Health-Conscious Eateries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joe-the-juice1.md) - [Artisan Coffee Commuter Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grind-cafe.md) - [Pop-Up Concept Grocery Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/another-pantry.md) - [Redeveloped Industrial Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ironworks-caf.md) - [Industrial History-Inspired Art Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tannery.md) - [Modern Retail Café Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eln-deli-and-bakery.md) - [Repurposed Train Carriage Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/train-carriage.md) - [Modern Museum Versatile Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corner-cafe.md) - [Granola-Focused Restaurant Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-granola-bar.md)
