Happy employees are far more productive, so why not give your business a major endorphin boost and move to Bermondsey – the area for life lovers, culture and art!
If the office space ranging from 2,600 to 5,708 to let at 12-15 Bermondsey Square, isn’t convincing enough, here are 7 good reasons why you should book an appointment to have a look around BSQ.
1. A second office in the local eateries
Not just a place for leisure, the area both on and around BSQ has fantastic places to eat, drink and work with free communal WIFI. Bermondsey Square Hotel is just one of those places. The Flour & Grape opposite the square is lush for fresh pasta and client entertaining and WatchHouse coffee shop on the other side of the road to BSQ is the quaintest pocket of the city you’ll find.
2. Be close to culture
In Bermondsey Square itself you can check out regularly changing exhibitions at Forma or walk a short distance to catch the latest exhibition at the White Cube; or visit the Fashion and Textile Museum.
3. Authentically Turkish
Right on your doorstep, Lokma Turkish Grill and Bar is perfect for everything from a quiet working lunch, or, as it can hold up to 250 people, a Christmas party, launch event, company-do, or client party. After work, if you fancy a night out with a twist, check out the Shisha Bar, or visit the well-stocked Bar which overlooks the remains of the 11th-century Bermondsey Abbey.
4. Be part of a creative community
Home to a vibrant collection of independent traders, artisan shops, galleries, restaurants, bars, cafes and artists, Bermondsey Street has a village vibe about it. There’s also a Bermondsey Square Community Fund that gives grants of up to £2,500 to support projects that benefit the area and the world-famous Bermondsey Beer Mile. And to celebrate its diversity, each September Bermondsey comes together for a day-long Street Festival featuring live bands, street entertainment and children’s events. Just so you know, this year’s date is 14 September.
5. Visit the famous Antiques Market
Every Friday Bermondsey Square hosts the Bermondsey Antique market, with traders specialising in everything from silver to china, glassware to paintings, cutlery to jewellery and furniture. Open from 6 am to 2 pm, the market attracts antique experts, tourists and bargain hunters alike. Take a trip around it before work, or visit at lunchtime.
6. Working out
To relieve your stress – or just to keep fit – grab your gym bag and head to PureGym, a 7-minute walk from Bermondsey Square. Open 24 hours a day, and with more than 220 pieces of equipment, it’s the perfect place to work out. Prices start from £28.99 a month – and you don’t need to set up a contract! Perfect.
And finally…
7. Well connected
Bermondsey Square is close to both the city and the River Thames. It’s a few minutes walk from the London Bridge Station (mainline services include Thameslink, Southern and Southeastern; while the Jubilee and Northern lines also service the station).
