Workspace® property, Edinburgh House, in Kennington offers the perfect creative work environment with a contemporary feel throughout.

"The beautiful exterior only gets better when you walk in with offices, studios and meeting rooms all set around a spectacular central atrium flooded with natural light. It makes for a great environment to work in and impress clients." says Centre Manager, Victoria.

Location

Less than a ten-minute walk from Kennington tube station and only a short walk or bus away from Elephant and Castle, and major junctions at Vauxhall and Clapham Junction, Edinburgh House Workspace® is easily acessible from all Zone 1 transport links. Yet, the area also offers plenty of leafy spots to escape busy city life. Kennington Park, Harmsworth Park and the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens are all just some of the green oases within walking distance – all flanked by an eclectic mix of cafes, shops and restaurants.

It's no wonder Kennington and Oval remain a hotspot for workers looking for an office location that balances local feel and London buzz. A trusted pub is never far. In fact, the streets of Kennington are home to some of the best food and drink south of the river – The Ship, the Prince of Wales on Cleaver Square, the Tommyfield, and the Jolly Gardeners are among some of its not-so-hidden gems.

History

Edinburgh House stands in the footprint of Kennington Palace's old stables. Turn back the clock to 1346 and Edward Woodstock – Edward III's eldest son, later dubbed 'The Black Prince' – had started work on the palace. From the early 1340s until about 1350, building records suggest that Edward had busied himself constructing a magnificent hall and selection of chambers, including the Prince's chamber. But all was demolished by Henry VIII in 1531 to use the materials to build the Palace of Whitehall.

Today, Edinburgh House marks the spot where the palace and stables stood in the triangle formed by Kennington Lane, Sancroft Street and Cardigan Street.
