Key Details

Overview

Silwood Street is a freehold residential-led development in South Bermondsey, London SE16.

The £30 million (GDV) mixed-use development has permission for 61 apartments and commercial space and is set to transform a cleared and vacant site adjacent to historic railway arches, and kickstart the wider regeneration of the New Bermondsey neighbourhood.

Located on a 0.25-hectare linear site, the plans by Stephen Davy Peter Smith Architects provide for a large development across four buildings, with heights of five to nine storeys and a modern, two-tone brick façade. The 61 apartments will provide 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments; every home will have dual or triple aspects, with large windows and glazed doors planned to maximise natural light.

On the ground floor there will be commercial space totalling 14,133 sq. ft. including a café, community space, retail and office space. The commercial space will have generous 3.4m floor to ceiling heights and open plan layouts with the option to subdivide units for flexible letting agreements. The plans also provide for communal roof gardens for residents, and car and cycle parking. The site offers great transport links, with South Bermondsey Station within six minutes walking distance, and Surrey Quays station within ten minutes walking distance.

Affordable Homes
The development includes 21 new affordable homes including 8 social housing units and 13 social rent units.

South Bermondsey is undergoing extensive transformation including improved transport links and amenities. There is Government funding for a London Overground station ‘New Bermondsey’ which will be located between Queens Road Peckham and Surrey Quays, with services set to commence in 2025, to be located a short walk from the Silwood Street site. The New Bermondsey regeneration masterplan will transform a 30-acre industrial site into a new neighbourhood of over 3,500 new homes, shops, sports facilities and public realm including piazzas and cycle paths.
