London, Dec 4 (ANI): London's latest retail park that claims to be the world's first ever 'pop-up' shopping mall is made entirely from recycled shipping containers.
The shopping center named 'Boxpark' is located in the city's trendy Shoreditch High Street, and consists of 60 standard-sized shipping containers stacked two stories high and five rows wide.
Rapper Dizzee Rascal was spotted buying trendy caps and jeans at the bizarre center that is proving popular with celebrities and public alike, the Daily Mail reported.
British entrepreneur Roger Wade - who made his name in the 1990s through the fashion label Boxfresh - is behind the park.
"These containers have a strong symbolism for me," Wade was quoted as telling CNN.
"When I first started out selling clothes on a market stall, I dreamed of the day I'd be shipping my wares off to Hong Kong inside one of these," he said.
"Now I think it's fitting that something so closely associated with global trade has ended up itself as a shop," he added. (ANI)
