Delivering new homes, workspace, market infrastructure and public realm improvements that benefit Brixton’s residents and businesses.
Where?
49 Brixton Station Road and 6 Canterbury Crescent are two council-owned sites in the heart of Brixton. Both are being used on a meanwhile basis while the council develops its plans for their long-term future.
What?
Following a competitive process, the Council selected London Square as its development partner who will work with the Council and the local community to develop the proposals for the sites which are expected to deliver new homes, workspace, street market infrastructure and public realm improvements that will benefit Brixton’s residents and businesses.
What's happening on the sites at the moment?
49 Brixton Station Road currently hosts Pop Brixton, which provides a range of food and drink, retail and workspace units alongside market trader car parking, storage, market waste facilities and a public pay and display car park.
6 Canterbury Crescent is International House; a former council office building which provides a range of workspaces for entrepreneurs, businesses, charities and social enterprises.
The council has renewed the leases for International House with 3space until Spring 2027 and Pop Brixton with Pop Community Limited until Winter 2026 to align with anticipated planning and delivery timescales for the future development.
