It would be designed to cut out become a four-star destination hotel, with noise from the site’s operations to prevent 268 rooms and a restaurant, attracting more disruption to neighbours. visitors to this part of the South Bank. Proposed ground floor plan www.SeaContainersHouse.com PROVIDING MODERN OFFICE SPACE The proposed scheme will refurbish the existing office space throughout the east and west wings of Sea Containers House. This, together with the new office building, will create modern, high-quality office space that should accommodate a greater number of employees than the current building. We are planning a new nine-storey (ground floor plus eight) office building on the current car park site providing new, Grade-A office space and ground floor retail space. Why are these proposals being put forward? The South Bank is a key employment area and identified for further growth in both the London Plan and London Borough of Southwark’s Local Development Framework. Because of its cultural heritage, location and transport links, the area is an excellent place to live, visit or run a business. Sea Containers House sits at the heart of an area that is leading economic recovery and these proposals are designed to let the building achieve its full potential in a thriving local community and economy. Artist’s impression of the new office building from behind OXO Tower Wharf www.SeaContainersHouse.com CREATING AN HOTEL Sea Containers House was constructed as a hotel in the 1970s and Archlane Ltd wants to bring part of the building back to this original use. It is a great location for an hotel, in the heart of London’s South Bank, close to excellent transport links and London’s major entertainment and cultural centres. Our proposals include plans for a four-star, 268-bed destination hotel, predominantly within the south wing of the building. The hotel would also have its own restaurant. In addition to the hotel, extra hospitality space will be provided in the form of a new bar on the roof of the east wing. This will be set back from the edge and fully enclosed thereby minimising visual impact and noise. www.SeaContainersHouse.com REINVIGORATING THE RIVER WALKWAY The River Walkway is a major tourist and leisure route. The proposed new route from the River Walkway to Hatfields and Upper Ground will open up a long and Currently the ground level of Sea Containers House currently unbroken stretch of the River Walkway. provides ‘inactive’ frontages with only office windows along the River Walkway, creating a long walk with Parts of the River Walkway in front of Sea Containers no attractions for residents, office workers or visitors. House are too narrow to allow a proper flow of people on busy days, causing bottlenecks. The proposals would create new restaurants and cafés opening onto the River Walkway to revitalise and reinvigorate the immediate vicinity. Views of the River Walkway in front of Sea Containers House www.SeaContainersHouse.com REVITALISING PUBLIC SPACES The proposals include creating a pedestrianised route running from the River Walkway to Hatfields and Upper Ground, in between Sea Containers House and OXO Tower Wharf. An existing stairwell and railings will be removed to create and widen the new route. In addition, the new office building on the existing car park site and the new hotel within the south wing will help to draw people both along Upper Ground and the River Walkway. We are working with the King’s Reach Tower development team to create a full landscaping plan that will revitalise the immediate surrounding area. Artist’s impression of the new office building from Upper Ground Improving Pedestrian Access Sea Containers House occupies 120m of the River Walkway, along which millions of Londoners and visitors walk every year. These proposals aim to improve pedestrian access along the River Walkway by: • Creating a pedestrian route in between Sea Containers House and OXO Tower Wharf from the River Walkway to the rest of Southwark, which will draw people southwards from the River Walkway. • Helping to improve access to and through the Sea Containers House site. Artist’s impression of the new office building from Hatfields to the River Walkway www.SeaContainersHouse.com OUR COMMITMENTS The refurbished Sea Containers House should improve the building’s contribution to the local community and economy by providing high-quality office space, creating safe and attractive landscaping and new visitor destinations throughout.

  • Report: Styles House and Southwark Underground Station PDF 173 KB
    Item No. Classification: Date: Meeting Name: 10. Open 30 April 2019 Cabinet Report title: Styles House and Southwark Underground Station – Enabling Principles to Facilitate New Council Homes and New Employment Space Ward: Borough and Bankside Cabinet Members: Councillor Leo Pollak, Social Regeneration, Great Estates and New Council Homes FOREWORD – COUNCILLOR LEO POLLAK, CABINET MEMBER FOR SOCIAL REGENERATION, GREAT ESTATES AND NEW COUNCIL HOMES The following report describes a land swap and new set of starting principles for the delivery of new council homes as well as new employment space above and beside Southwark tube station. Following years of discussions between the council, Transport for London (TfL) and Styles House residents (now constituted as a TMO), we have over the past few months established a constructive negotiation towards a new set of enabling principles that establish TfL and the Tenant Management Organisation (TMO) as equal partners in the redevelopment of the wider site and lay the foundations for a strong long-term partnership between the TMO and TfL for the management of shared spaces. The TMO have always understood the scale of our borough’s housing crisis and been keen to play their part in building new council homes on their estate. Given the far- reaching changes experienced around the estate over the past 30 years the TMO have been determined to ensure that any new development is designed and managed to the maximum benefit of existing residents. Over the past few months, we have worked together to ensure that any upcoming design process protects the amenity of existing residents, gives the TMO significant influence over how the estate evolves and gives us the best chance of growing the already strong community that people enjoy at Styles House.

    1st Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Mayor’s Question Time 27th May 2021 This is my first report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 5th March 2021 – 13th May 2021. Please note that the information in the Mayor’s Report is accurate at the time of publishing. Executive Summary Thank you London I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Londoners for re-electing me for a second term as Mayor. I’m deeply humbled by the trust that’s been placed in me to continue leading London - the greatest city on earth. The experiences I've had through my life have shaped my belief that we all have a responsibility to do everything we can to build the bridges that bring us together - rather than the walls that only drive us further apart. Our response to this awful pandemic has shown the immense power of unity over division, and of community over self. Now we must capture and harness that spirit of unity and cooperation to build a better and brighter future after the dark days of the pandemic, and I am back in City Hall with a renewed commitment to be a Mayor for all Londoner - working to improve the lives of every single person in this city. You can read more about the team that will be supporting me to deliver for Londoners here: https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/mayor-announces-key-senior- appointments New London Assembly On behalf of all Londoners, I would like to congratulate the 25 elected Assembly Members who now make up the new London Assembly.
