An exceptional, self-contained creative hub on Sampson Street offering c.7,523 sqft of lateral office space across lower ground and ground floors. Redesigned by Gensler, the building combines industrial character—exposed brickwork, high ceilings and polished concrete—with a modern plug-and-play fit-out including editing suites, recording studio, phone booths and eight meeting rooms. Independent air heating/cooling, fresh-air induction, independent lighting and 3-phase power support high-spec media or tech operations.
The space has strong practical advantages for an occupier or owner-operator: large floorplates with c.14m frontage, a reception and lounge, private theatre/conference room and two private off-street parking spaces. EPC B and excellent broadband/mobile connectivity make it ready for immediate occupation or short-term letting to creative and tech tenants drawn to Wapping’s nautical character and nearby amenities.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is leasehold with c.96 years remaining and a small ground rent of £250. The local crime level is recorded as very high, which may affect security costs and insurance. Some original cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so further thermal upgrades could be needed to optimise energy performance despite the EPC B.
This building suits a buyer seeking a high-spec, sizeable central London office with immediate operational capability and characterful finishes — ideal for a growing media, creative or high-tech business, or an investor targeting premium short-term lets to specialist tenants. Assessments on security measures, insulation upgrades and lease terms are recommended prior to purchase.
