New Mansion Square is a key part of the Battersea Power Station masterplan.

This development comprises 386 homes, with a mix of studio to four-bedroom apartments available for social rent and London affordable rent.

The wider development includes a new NHS Health Centre and an exciting cultural offer at 'Space 52' occupied by the BLINK Dance Theatre.

Peabody, working with Battersea Power Station and Wandsworth Council, chose BLINK after a competitive application process.

The neighbouring BMW Booker site redevelopment includes plans for cafes and restaurants, as well as more cultural spaces. On the other side of Battersea Park Road is the Battersea Power Station development, which has over 250 shops and a public park on the Thames. 

The area is fast becoming known as an emerging creative and tech location. Apple’s London campus has moved into Battersea Power Station, alongside world-renowned institutions, including the Royal College of Art, Foster & Partners and Vivienne Westwood. Publishers Penguin Random House UK and Dorling Kindersley are also based nearby in Embassy Gardens. 

Wandsworth Council are also implementing proposals for the Battersea Design Quarter, which will include the development of more sites with affordable space nearby.

We are delighted that Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, has chosen Wandsworth to become London Borough of Culture 2025. A huge programme of activity will be delivered in collaboration and partnership with communities, residents and the arts and culture sector. 

Our workspace will be managed by the on-site community manager who’ll be available to help tenants. The community manager will be available during business hours and be based in the centrally located Enterprise Hub co-working space. 

The community manager will direct tenants to opportunities and shared resources to develop their business and help them make connections with other tenants. They’ll also manage the Enterprise Hub’s bookable spaces, including the podcast studio and meeting spaces.

Supported by Stride and Wandsworth Council, the Enterprise Hub is an important part of our workspace. The 1,108 sq ft (103 sq metre) co-working hub includes rentable fixed desks, meeting spaces and a podcast studio. 

All workspace tenants will be able to use the hub. We will also arrange events and networking opportunities. 

Early-stage local businesses or sole traders will be able to book desks by the month or week. 

We are interested in hearing from local cafe operators who want to be an anchor for the creative workspace community.

Located opposite the enterprise hub is a 32 sqm unit at the entry from Sleaford Street. With 386 new homes on site, the NHS moving in, 12 workspace units, a cultural hub and no other cafes nearby, this offers a great location to start or expand your coffee business.

Seating and tables can be located outside in a landscaped square. This will increase the area available for customers.

It’s important that interested tenants understand all the costs involved in leasing a Peabody workspace before applying for space. 

As part of the interview process, applicants will be able to ask questions to ensure they fully understand the costs and their responsibilities as a tenant.

• Deposit: Equal to one month rent and to be paid prior to entering the space.
• Inclusive rent: The rent is outlined in the table above and payable monthly via direct debit. Building insurance, service charge and an estate management charge are included in the rent.
• Utilities: All units will have access to the communal heating system and will be required to secure a contract with the relevant heating provider. More information on this will be available at the interview if required. Tenants will also need to sign up for electricity and each unit will be individually metered
• Internet: Fibre internet will be available. Tenants will be able to secure a contract with a suitable internet provider
• Business rates: The units haven’t yet been rated by the valuation office but we have advice from a ratings specialist surveyor that the valuation is expected to be around £275 per sqm (The payable rate is calculated by applying the business rates multiplier to this valuation figure and further information is available on gov.uk/calculate-your-business-rates).
