Southwark Bridge Road
The former London Fire Brigade site partially sits on a conservation area and consisted of multiple
Grade II listed buildings. Planning consent was obtained for the redevelopment of the site including alterations and extensions to listed buildings for a mixed use scheme to provide a new secondary school with 6th form (up to 1150 pupils), 199 residential units in buildings up to 10 storeys, 234m2 of flexible
commercial or community use, a 139m2 gym, associated landscape and public real works, cycle parking, disabled parking and the redevelopment of the land at Grotto Place for the provision of a new sports hall and external multi use games facility and landscaping.
The site dates back to 1750 and stands as a monument in the heart of the local community. The fire station supported the needs of London for over 135 years, an aspect which forms the blueprint of the newly designed development. Brigade Court is the new residential community in the heart of Borough, SE1. Set in the former home of the London Fire Brigade, it connects past, present and future through a mix of Grade II listed buildings and the finest contemporary architecture, set around a central courtyard for a traditionally different take on modern living
