About

Design District will provide a new space for London’s creatives to come and work together. A magnetic centre of activity with a vibrant and engaged community of designers, makers and creators – from architects and artists to graphic, fashion and digital designers, gaming professionals, musicians and many more.

The creative industries are at the heart of what makes London great. But London is also one of the most expensive cities in the world. Furthermore, creative communities — already under threat from rocketing rent — are reeling from the impact of COVID-19. Consistent with our fundamental commitment to supporting the sector, all rent at Design District is now just £5 per sqft.

Everything about the district is designed to help creative businesses thrive. That includes permanent buildings to provide security and certainty, plus flexible leases to enable businesses to grow or shrink in one place. Our work spaces are naturally ventilated with huge north-light windows. There are options from co-working space to clean studios and dirty workshops, along with a photographic studio and places to eat and do sport for all to share.

Beyond space, we will have a programme of events specially curated for our tenants. We will also have business services available from experts in intellectual property, employment law, tax and other topics that creative industries so often need help with. And we will strive to constantly improve this service; behaving more like a world-class R&D department than a landlord. So as our city grows, creatives have a permanent place to stay.
