Square Root London (Not in use)
East London
At Square Root London we produce fresh handmade sodas from fruit sourced at our local markets. We bottle our drinks using a simple recipe with natural ingredients and no hidden additions.
Our range includes core drinks produced through the year such as our Ginger Beer, and also seasonal fruit drinks such as the Raspberry Lemonade.
We started Square Root London in September 2012 selling fresh ginger beer from our iconic 1920s traders tricycle. We wanted to make drinks which had no artificial ingredients, less sugar than the big guys and bring back a taste of soft drinks that have been abandoned by the wider industry. With the success of the Ginger Beer we added more seasonal soda flavours like the Rhubarb, Cucumber, and Lemonade… Our business has grown from there.
Square Root London expanded in November 2013 to its current location under the arches by Hackney Downs station when we quit our day jobs and built our bottling line with some help from the brewers of Hackney and a steel works in Lancashire. Ed used to run the brewery at Howling Hops in Hackney & Robyn worked at the Euston Tap so our experience here really helped!
Production generally takes two days beginning with sourcing of the fresh fruit or veg from New Spitalfields Market during the early hours and a day of hand pressing and juicing. We then mix up our drinks adding the English Beet Sugar (from Sugar Beet) or Fairtrade Cane Sugar and fresh citrus juice and allow it to chill down overnight. On the second day we then bottle by hand and pasteurise our drinks so they can be kept for 6 months at ambient temperature without the addition of artificial preservatives.
No weird stuff, no compromises!
