The Liberty of Southwark

Urban Renewal at The Liberty of Southwark London

London's Liberty of Southwark is the Landsec-designed landmark development nestled in the corner of SE1 at 15-33 Southwark Street. It symbolizes a major rejuvenation of premises at Land and Court, aiming to create a vibrant mixed-use destination including homes, offices and shops. Placing human character and contemporary urban life side by side in the same scheme, the design is by Allies and Morrison.
The 36 residential units that are being built at this development will each include 20% “Affordable Housing”.

The new community will boast pubs, cafés and restaurants, small shops in unhappily connected clusters that make for a constantly active place during waking hours. Sistricts based on restored medieval lanes serve to reinstate that part of Southwark's original urban layout, which makes movement and access between Borough Market, Southwark Street and Redcross Way come back into practice.

Architecture and Heritage

The Liberty of Southwark, London, takes the shape of individual "brick" buildings that reflect genuinely and rigorously the scale and pattern typical of nearby Victorian industrial buildings. While the modern facades maintain the area's historic feel, presaging new materials and craftsmanship, they also honour what has gone before. The scheme will see the restoration of 15 Southwark Street, a building of historical importance that has been abandoned for too long.

Where the development borders onto Cross Bones Graveyard and its Memorial Gardens - a burial ground from post-medieval times - it is linked for horse-drawn carriages to turn around rather than park. The property ensures long-term, continuous care for this cultural landmark through landscaping, improved access and partnerships with both Bankside Open Spaces Trust and local heritage groups. The revised design includes extended opening hours and dedicated funding for the garden's upkeep, so that we will have a historic refuge maintained and preserved as such in perpetuity.

The new urban landmark of The Liberty of Southwark blurs work and pleasure. It combines with tradition in a new design idea that sculpts a fitting urban style from the remnants of old use. Brilliantly good for living, work and entertainment — with tenants on site in vacant spaces where they can spend more of their week or year! Then something sweet or salty at a shoreline restaurant next door before heading back home against traffic rush hours in off-peak times ahead of us all along every night, even when others want not just beer in bars or music from musicians but also hoteliers' warm settings too.
Living for tomorrow thanks to today's opportunity. Total urban renewal, The Liberty of Southwark opens up 1,800 employment vacancies in its wake. And it provides a platform for further business development with the support of flexible workspace units and affordable commercial property.
