Our partnership

Tower Bridge is London’s most iconic landmark; Social Pantry is its exclusive events partner, and the capital’s leading sustainable catering company. 

Tower Bridge is part of City Bridge Foundation, which is responsible for five Thames crossings: Blackfriars, Millenium, London, Southwark and Tower Bridge. It’s also London’s largest independent charity funder, using surplus from the bridge fund to support organisations working to make London a fairer, more equitable place. Since 1995, City Bridge Foundation has awarded more than £840 million to charitable organisations working to tackle inequality and injustice across the capital. By booking an event at Tower Bridge, guests help to support City Bridge Foundation’s work.

It’s this sense of purpose that makes the partnership so natural. At Social Pantry, we believe hospitality is at its best when it brings people together and creates meaningful impact – a philosophy that makes us a natural partner for City Bridge Foundation.

Our partnership is built on shared values and, just as importantly, close day-to-day collaboration. The Social Pantry team are regularly involved in Tower Bridge working groups, including Access and Inclusion and the Green Team, contributing directly to initiatives that shape the venue’s operations and future direction. With an office based at Tower Bridge, we work side-by-side – from regular marketing planning sessions and cross-team meetings to joint representation at industry events such as IMEX.

This collaboration also comes to life through events and activations. From DMC coffee mornings and agent showcases to our Social Supper – an annual event in which leading chefs join us to create a standout dining experience while providing meaningful paid opportunities for prison leavers – we work closely together to position Tower Bridge as a world-class events destination.

Sustainability is equally central to the partnership and woven through everything we do: City Bridge Foundation’s commitment to climate action across its estate is supported by Social Pantry’s zero-food-waste philosophy, seasonal menus and championing of British producers.

As a certified B Corp, Social Pantry is proud to partner so closely with an organisation that shares our belief that exceptional experiences should be delivered responsibly, with people and planet at their core.
