A new residential community in central London is providing the perfect solution for renters preparing to head back to the capital as restrictions lift. Park Central East and Park Central West have now opened their doors in Zone 1 and are set to revolutionise the way people regard renting in the vibrant capital.

With the motto ‘service is our signature’, newly launched multi-family management platform Living by Lendlease aims to provide a standard of renting and service not previously seen in the UK, and pledges to offer hassle-free rentals from a landlord committed to looking after the wellbeing of its residents.

These two new communities boast over 650 stylish apartments overlooking the lush and leafy 2.5-acre Elephant Park in vibrant Elephant & Castle. With glorious views, high-spec fittings, and an enviable range of on-site lifestyle amenities, renters can choose between the cool Scandi vibe of Park Central East or the art-deco glamour of Park Central West with homes ranging from spacious studios to three-bedroom apartments.

Floor-to-ceiling windows offer commanding views of London’s dramatic skyline from Canary Wharf to the London Eye and everything in between. For those that prefer a park side view with sounds of babbling water, all the green of Elephant Park and the lush canopy of mature trees provide an oasis in the city. Every apartment includes a private terrace or balcony to enjoy the sights and sounds of the community. Residents can rent it like they own it with the freedom to paint their walls, hang pictures, and let their individuality and creativity shine through. Every apartment features underfloor heating, roller shades with blackouts in the bedrooms, extra closet space, a full suite of modern, black integrated Grundig appliances, and wood floors throughout.

Responding to the changing needs of a new era of renters who believe companionship in the home is more important than ever, residents can move into their new home with their pets.

But it’s the amenities on offer, fully included in the monthly rent, that really set these homes apart from more conventional rentals. A 24-hour gym with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, a co-working space, cinema screening room, private dining room, various lounges, reading nooks, and even games rooms; choose from billiards or poker, pinball or Battleship! Private gardens and round-the-clock concierge are also on hand.

The ‘service is our signature’ ethos extends to residents benefitting from a 24-hour maintenance guarantee and a skilled and professional team to deal with any issues. A resident portal provides tips and tricks about everything in the new home. Residents also have access to exclusive monthly events such as movie nights, wine and food tastings, supper clubs and even art and interior design classes. Pets can join in the fun too with doggy art classes and ‘yappy hours!’

Stephanie Barbabosa, Head of Build to Rent at Living by Lendlease says: “At a time when people are making big decisions about how they want to live in the future, we believe we can provide them with a community that is attuned to their desires. Our apartments and amenities are all designed to fit the lifestyle our customers want, and our onsite teams are trained to a service standard not previously seen in the UK market. Elephant & Castle is the perfect location for Park Central East and Park Central West as it is one of central London’s most exciting neighbourhoods and we’re proud to welcome residents to this new thriving community.”

Park Central East and Park Central West are just a short stroll from a great line-up of restaurants, cafes and independent stores within South London’s newest foodie hub, Elephant Park. A new multi-screen cinema is also planned for the area, together with a library and exhibition space and new offices.
