Housing association Peabody is looking for creative organisations with local connections to lease an affordable workspace at New Mansion Square, in Battersea Power Station.

The spaces are in New Mansion Square, an entirely affordable scheme of 386 homes, 250 of these are social rent and London Affordable rent, and the remaining homes are shared ownership. 

Peabody, working with Battersea Power Station and Wandsworth Council, is offering twelve self-contained workspace units available approximately 50 percent lower than market rent. The spaces are ideal for new businesses and startups in need of a temporary, affordable workspace.  

Each organisation will benefit from dedicated on-site business support, networking opportunities provided by Peabody and the chance to build, make, and create alongside other innovative entrepreneurs and startups. 

With units starting from just £774 per month, each space comes complete with a kitchen, street frontage and opens out onto a newly landscaped square. 

New Mansion Square also offers a dedicated Enterprise and Tech Hub – a co-working space with desks, meeting rooms and a podcast studio. Organisations will pay just £27 per sq ft and £150 a month for a fixed desk with the option of
a monthly contract.  

Nestled in a bustling new 42-acre neighbourhood, Battersea Power Station is an iconic London landmark that has been transformed into a destination to work, shop, eat, drink, live and relax, positioned in and around the Grade II*
listed building.

The affordable workspaces, due to open later this year, are located just a four-minute walk from the new Battersea Power Station Underground station and nine minutes from Battersea Park railway station. 

Applicants will need to demonstrate a connection to Wandsworth and work in a creative industry, such as design, fashion, manufacturing, or technology.  

Priority will be given to organisations that plan to make the most of the adaptable space – this could include anything from allowing people to watch them work, displaying products they’ve made or hosting public events.
