Workspaces

Whilst upgrading existing workspaces, we’ll be delivering 3,000,000 sq ft of some of the most sustainable, flexible and connected office space in the capital.

WORKSPACE

40 Long Acre, Covent Garden

We are renovating and extending the building above Covent Garden station to deliver 12,000 sq ft of workspace and greatly improve the sustainability rating.

40 Long Acre, Covent Garden

When complete, over 12,500 sq ft will be available directly above Covent Garden Tube station. We are proposing to extend and refurbish the workspace and install a dedicated terrace. We’ll make it a more sustainable and inclusive building by improving its EPC rating from F to A or B. We will change how the space is heated so that once operational, it’ll be net zero carbon. 

Investing in a greener city, a city for future generations to work, to innovate and discover. And generate a long-term, sustainable income that we can re-invest back into London.

South Kensington Station, located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC), is one of the busiest stations on the London Underground, welcoming around 34 million passengers a year to the area, which includes London’s world-famous museum quarter. 

Working with Native Land, Places for London have been developing plans to restore and enhance the buildings and land at South Kensington Tube station, providing new homes, including 35% on site affordable, workspace, shops, and completing much-needed step-free access to the Circle & District lines.

Limmo Peninsula

The Limmo Peninsula site covers around 5 hectares of land, with 600m of river frontage, and sits within the Royal Docks and Beckton Riverside Opportunity Area. Previously used as a work site for the Elizabeth line, the area now has the potential to deliver up to 1,200 new homes, including affordable housing, alongside a range of improvements for the local community as well as new residents.

Limmo Peninsula

The Limmo Peninsula site covers around 5 hectares of land, with 600m of river frontage, and sits within the Royal Docks and Beckton Riverside Opportunity Area. Previously used as a work site for the Elizabeth line, the area now has the potential to deliver up to 1,500 new homes, including affordable housing, alongside a range of improvements for the local community as well as new residents.

The site could potentially include commercial space which would support the local economy, large areas of publicly accessible open space, and enhancements to the connectivity of the area, such as a new cycle and pedestrian bridge and a new river walkway.

Sustainability will also feature at the heart of any future designs, with the scheme looking to be effectively car-free, but with some blue badge parking spaces. These potential enhancements would complement the site's existing public transport connections. Future residents would also be encouraged to travel sustainably, given that the north part of the site is less than five minutes' walk away from Canning Town station, with customers able to access both the Jubilee line and DLR, as well as Canning Town bus station.

In addition to the site at Limmo Peninsula, the joint venture partnership will also have the opportunity to potentially develop other sites across east London, helping to deliver thousands of new and much needed homes with close access to public transport

Places for London

Over the summer, we hosted 20 young people for work experience placements. The programme, led by Thomas Glover, our Construction Skills Project Coordinator, gave the young people a chance to explore the wide scope of work and opportunities that exist within the built environment sector. Throughout the week, the group visited our site in Wood Lane, explored the new developments in Battersea and took part in networking sessions.
