Community Introduction
- Bermondsey Place, located in London SE1, is one of Berkeley Group’s latest urban regeneration projects. Strategically positioned between London’s South Bank and the City, it integrates residential, commercial, and public spaces with approximately 2.9 acres of landscaped gardens, adjacent to Burgess Park (140 acres) — creating a rare blend of city vibrancy and natural tranquility.
- The community embodies the concept of “Life in Harmony”, featuring sky gardens and podium terraces every few levels to bring nature vertically into the architecture. Upon completion, the development will include around 1,300 apartments along with retail, dining, and leisure facilities — making it one of the most promising large-scale mixed-use communities in London Zone 2.
