Meeting Demand With Design Excellence
Designed by architects AHMM, the development will include a new Bauhaus-inspired block which will house the PBSA element, which will offer students a best in class experience in what is one of London's best-connected Zone 1 locations. With several universities within a short journey from the station, the new development will also help to alleviate the demand on the private rental market in the area.
Zone 1 Living
Future residents of the development will benefit from easy and fast public transport connections across the capital with London Bridge and Waterloo within walking distance. Being in zone 1, the development sits within some of the best of what city has to offer with theatres, restaurants and more on its doorstep.
