8 9 HERITAGE COMES TO life
At London Square Bermondsey a new urban village is emerging, set to be the address of choice in this ultra fashionable part of London.
This is a unique new community that infuses life into a richly historic site. From the 19th century it was the location for one of Bermondsey’s many tanneries, and later, it contained premises owned by Crosse and Blackwell, who made their famous Branston Pickle there.
London Square Bermondsey is also a piece in a far bigger jigsaw. It’s the showcase scheme in the Old Kent Road Area Action Plan, setting a high bar for future development. This ambitious project is going to bring thousands of new homes, as well as schools, jobs, parks, public areas, and even two new tube stations for the Bakerloo Line extension that will arrive around 2030.*
* In planning stages at time of going to press. London Square has harnessed the talents of masterplan architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, along with Coffey Architects and Studio Egret West, to create a vibrant destination that opens up a site long hidden from view.
10 11 creating A COMMUNITY
London Square Bermondsey is designed to be a community in its own right, thriving around the clock. It’s a place of work as well as a residential location, with small business space a key part of the plan. Tannery Arts, in new premises, will add a creative vibe, produced by the artists working there and the exhibition space.
The whole site is opening up. It is bringing a new lease of life to the unused and unloved industrial buildings 8 which have played such an important part in Bermondsey’s story. Between COURTYARDS them are new squares and walkways that connect the development to its AND GARDEN surrounding streets. The prospects are SQUARES exciting. From a forgotten corner to a vibrant new neighbourhood, London Square Bermondsey is a welcome addition to SE1.

Other green pockets in the area include Tabard Gardens and Leathermarket Gardens.
