Affordable workspace case study: Peckham Levels

We own the Peckham multi-storey car park. It had been underused for many years. In 2002, the property owner gave an arts organisation a lease for the upper floor to support cultural activities. In 2015, the further car park levels were used as a cultural and creative workspace.

It is now home to Hatch Peckham, a not-for-profit enterprise. It offers affordable co-working spaces for business and remote workers. This includes flexible memberships with fixed desks and pay-as-you-go options.

Peckham Levels offers some studios at 20% and 50% of the full market rent to successful applicants.
