Location can be a crucial factor in the success or demise of a business. Indeed, having a base in a vibrant area can inspire creativity and help to create the 'brand' and ethos of a company.

City regeneration areas often present an affordable opportunity within an otherwise expensive locality, and Southwark is no exception. Could it be London's next big borough? The signs are encouraging.

A Big Opportunity

Imagine having an office that overlooked the iconic Ministry of Sound nightclub, was minutes away from Italian and Venezuelan cafes, and only a short distance to a new £20 million leisure centre.

Welcome to Lancaster House.

Situated opposite the new, sought-after 251 residential building, Lancaster House is now available to lease. Ideal as a HQ or a base for sales, marketing, tech, or creative companies, it provides six floors of office space.

Comprising 30,000 square feet in total, each floor has 5,000 square feet to lease, meaning it is ideally suited to single or multiple occupants.

The Building

Originally built in the 1950's, Lancaster House is a reinforced 7 storey concrete structure, with 6 upper storeys, ground, and basement levels. The office suites are currently sub-divided, and have carpeted or laminated floor coverings - but internal reconfiguration is easily achieved.

The main features:

• A ground floor reception and separate concierge office

• 2 passenger lifts

• Suspended ceilings

• Male and female restrooms on alternate levels

The upper floors also have enviable views across the city, with a panorama of the London skyline.

Culture & Lifestyle

Situated inside the £3 billion Elephant & Castle Regeneration Zone, there are currently a number of re-developments in progress, which are rapidly positioning the area as a vibrant, and increasingly in-demand location.

In addition to the new leisure centre, there is a modern gym in the nearby railway arches, and a theatre - the Southwark Playhouse - is just a few minutes walk away. Italian and Venezuelan cafes are nearby, as well as wholefood and organic eateries.

Borough and Elephant & Castle tube stations give rapid access to London Bridge and Waterloo in just 4 minutes, while the property sits adjacent to bus services on Newington Causeway. For the essential downtime, Newington Gardens is a nice green space to relax in.

With a wealth of nearby amenities, we believe that Lancaster House would make an excellent home for ambitious businesses. It lends itself well to single head office use, creative spaces, or serviced offices which could be sub-let to freelancers and startups.
