Regeneration for the next generation
A bold new chapter
Sitting at the intersection between the exciting Elephant and Castle regeneration area and the established Walworth Road, it's where heritage meets next-gen ambition.
After being ravaged by fire in 2013, it was placed on the Heritage at Risk register and remained closed to the public.
Now, we have transformed it into a true community asset - a concourse for the next generation of innovators that truly inspires and brings value to users and neighbours.
Introducing a new flexible and fully serviced workspace concept by General People, designed to nurture creative, small and local businesses, providing them with the tools to grow, collaborate and thrive.

A legacy
Restored
We have increased publicly accessible space by 44% compared to before the fire - introducing a series of comprehensive amenities that foster collaboration and community engagement, including a new, healthy public cafe by Jusu Brothers.
All topped off with a new Community Centre, operated by General People, which hosts a curated monthly programme of events from Skills and Learning workshops, to fitness classes, from art fairs to music sessions - providing local neighbours with a place to learn, connect and enjoy.
Balancing commercial, cultural, community and environmental needs to establish a new benchmark for success.
Walworth Town Hall has become a blueprint for the future reinvention of heritage assets into modern day icons.
