Serviced Offices No 1 Silex Street, Southwark, SE1 0DW

No 1 Silex is an industrial-era building that was formerly a printworks, and dates from around World War One.

Its interior exposed brick walls, laid in English bond, have been sandblasted back to their original state – warm, light-brown and pinkish.

The sash window frames and their deep sills remain, with updated double glazing; and the high ceilings, encouraging excellent air-flow, are supported by black-painted cast-iron, heavy-duty rivetted columns that retain the atmosphere of the building’s original function as an artisanal space.

The hardwood floors throughout are calming and harmonise with the textured surfaces of metal and brick, and various modern fittings designed to contrast and highlight the character of the space (such as vertical slatted-style black radiators).

The open roof substructure surmounting the white space of the topmost floor is an industrial, steel version of the ancient, barn-style Queen-post roof, and lifts the atmosphere of the space into a calming and productive zone.

Each 2,000sqft unit has space for around 40 desks plus meeting rooms.

Private kitchen/breakout in each unit – layout can be altered to suit the client

The 2nd and 3rd floor units can be taken together or separately – so 2,000sqft or 4,000sqft units.

Access to a large communal kitchen and breakout space on the Ground floor

2,000 or 4,000 sqft offices available per floor for £16000 pcm each (£400 pp based on 40 desks per office)

Waterloo, Southwark, Borough and Elephant & Castle stations within a 8-9 minute walk
