Project Overview

The Biscuit Factory Block J forms a pivotal element of the ambitious £500 million Bermondsey Project, revitalising the former Peek Frean factory site—a historic landmark in Southwark that once pioneered iconic British biscuits like the Garibaldi and Digestive. This phase, led by Workspace Group, introduces 60-84 contemporary commercial office spaces, a vibrant café, and enhanced communal areas, all while honouring the site's industrial legacy through sensitive façade retention and a six-storey steel-frame extension.

Designed to achieve a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating, the scheme integrates sustainable innovations such as a green roof and efficient service diversions, fostering a dynamic workspace hub amid Southwark's evolving creative district. With early enabling works underway, including partial demolition and basement fit-outs, this redevelopment bridges heritage and innovation, creating inclusive environments for businesses and communities. As part of the broader 5.4-hectare masterplan, it promises lasting economic impact, drawing on the site's rich manufacturing heritage to inspire modern productivity.
