About us:

At The Flour Station, our goal is to transform the food system.

Flour Station began in the early 2000s baking in the shadow of London’s most iconic factory building – The Battersea Power Station. Inspired by this industrial powerhouse, the name Flour Station was born and opened its first stall at Borough Market, the epicentre of London’s artisan and quality cuisine. 20 years later, and with 6 different markets across the whole of London, we continue providing the best quality bread and pastries to London’s best markets, restaurants, chefs and grocery stores. Equally passionate about providing customers with an outstanding culinary journey, we're seeking a Manager for our Flour Station Markets.
