of Bermondsey
Each part of London has its own special character. Some are created and demand attention. Others evolve, quietly and slowly over time — undergoing a series of transformations that produce a rich, layered fabric. Bermondsey makes you feel its history. The story of the area begins with marshland, chosen as a site for a new monastery by four French monks in the 11th century. In 1399 the priory became Bermondsey Abbey. After the Dissolution during the 1530s, Thomas Pope built a large mansion on the ruins of the Abbey and its masonry was used in houses that lined Bermondsey Street. From the 17th century the area attracted various industries — leather and tanning trades, wool stapling and glue manufacturing — which, by the Victorian era, had created a teeming, overcrowded neighbourhood immortalised by Charles Dickens in Oliver Twist. The area still has echoes of this period in its street names and small, narrow alleyways. The site of Woolyard reflects this history — it was first home to a gin distillery from 1819, then generations of trades connected to the wool and cotton industry — Thomas Legg and Sons, Touach and Co, Arthur Smart
and Sons — until the 1950s when it became a food factory. As industries left from the 1960s onwards, new uses were found for the buildings and spaces in the area with many warehouses used by the antique dealers of the relocated Bermondsey Antiques Market.
Today the area is full of businesses and organisations linked with the creative and fashion industries — Kurt Geiger, Jerwood, Zandra Rhodes — and small shops, boutiques, cafés and bars have sprung up to serve this new community. Eateries from Delfina to Pont de la Tour, museums of Art, Design and Fashion Textiles, and anything else you can think of is within walking distance. And at night, the area is home to some of London’s best new clubs. But unlike other areas that have undergone major change, Bermondsey has regenerated itself in a slow, smallscale and real way. Its everyday, yet lovely, buildings have been reinvented as the places and spaces of modern, urban life.
Woolyard is part of this process of change, waiting for the next generation of companies to make it their home.
a collection
Woolyard is an integrated collection of new and historic buildings; its architecture is simple, robust and flexible, mixing the best of the old with the best of the new. At its heart is the courtyard — a gated, private space just off Bermondsey Street. The yard is defined by its ancient plot, historic industrial building and adjoining new architecture. The reinstatement of the granite cobbles and stone creates a textured ‘fifth elevation’, which contrasts with the modern workspace offered.

Just a stone’s throw from Woolyard is the fantastic Borough Market, London Bridge Station, Tate Modern, Southwark Cathedral and the breath-taking views of the Thames.
local area
The fabric of Bermondsey is rich with memories of the past. Street names, architectural details, local cafés and hidden spaces all create a very special part of London that now buzzes with the vibrancy of contemporary urban life.

Building 52
A variety of spaces of differing sizes and volumes have been created, which can be interlinked or independent. The durable and historic internal fabric of brick, cast iron, and timber is retained to create a collage of old and new — with practical new services, honestly expressed. The spaces provide daylight, vistas, texture and incident.

Building 54
A contemporary interpretation of the warehouse aesthetic — the interior walls and columns are cool, light concrete whilst lacquered joinery adds a subtle touch. There are full height picture windows that overlook the courtyard and at high level, roof terraces provide views both East and West.
A carefully integrated cooling and lighting system creates a well-tempered environment, which incorporates opening panels for natural ventilation.

Building 56
This gateway building fronts onto Bermondsey Street, its picture windows frame the passing street theatre. A roof terrace and bay window overlook the private courtyard behind. A central, sky-lit staircase acts as a place of meeting and community. Thecool, calm interior with its architectural concrete, resin flooring and crisp, steel-framed glazing defines the modern office environment.Long Lane Sumner Street
