Independent businesses to join £2.3bn Elephant Park project

Lendlease has unveiled plans for local independent businesses to join established brands within the Elephant Park development.

Food and beverage, leisure and retail units will form part of the second phase of the international property and infrastructure group’s £2.bn development in South London.

16 new units totalling 37,000 sq ft will be made available to local independent businesses across two separate areas of the development.

Units will be offered in Ash Avenue, an area comprised of large format cafés and restaurants which will open directly onto a new park and green space.

In addition, units will be available in the New Kent Road and Chatteris Quarter areas of the development, which will offer space for health and wellbeing businesses as well as collaborative workspaces and creative studios.

Guy Thomas, head of retail at Lendlease, commented: “Elephant Park will be a thriving community in central London; a place where people want to live, build futures, work and visit; and one that has a sustainable long-term future because it reflects, and adds to the Elephant and Castle community and Southwark more widely.

“The retail, F&B and leisure offer of Phase Two will play a key role in fulfilling this by delivering a balanced mix of independent operators from the local area and brands with a wider footprint in London.”
