Gasworks , East Walworth

Introducing Gasworks – an innovative residential development poised to redefine the Old Kent Road landscape in SE15 1NZ. Brought forward by Avanton and designed by acclaimed architects Farrells, Gasworks is set on the iconic former SGN gasholder site, seamlessly blending industrial heritage with forward-thinking urban living.

Currently awaiting planning approval from Southwark Council, this ambitious scheme will deliver nearly 700 new homes across two distinctive towers rising 30 and 40 storeys. The development thoughtfully balances market and affordable housing, with a 60% to 40% allocation, ensuring a diverse and inclusive new community in the heart of London.

A unique hallmark of Gasworks is the sensitive restoration and integration of the Grade II-listed Gas Holder No. 13. This historic structure will become the centrepiece of a generous public green space – a rare offering in the urban context. Residents and visitors will enjoy landscaped parkland and riverside walks, creating a tranquil retreat amid the city’s energy.

Everyday living at Gasworks is enhanced by a suite of modern amenities tailored to contemporary lifestyles. Residents will benefit from a state-of-the-art gym, thoughtfully designed social and chill-out spaces, a nursery, and on-site educational options, catering to families and professionals alike. The inclusion of community facilities and employment opportunities as part of the development underscores its commitment to fostering a vibrant, self-sustaining neighbourhood.

Gasworks’ location within the Old Kent Road Area Action Plan places it at the centre of significant local regeneration, with the area set to benefit further from the forthcoming Bakerloo Line extension. This major transport upgrade will dramatically improve connectivity, linking Old Kent Road directly to key destinations across London and enhancing both liveability and investment potential.

Backed by the expertise of Avanton and Farrells, Gasworks represents a rare opportunity to own a home in a landmark project that honours London’s industrial past while embracing its dynamic future. Whether for living or investment, Gasworks promises an exceptional urban lifestyle in one of the capital’s most exciting emerging neighbourhoods.
