49 Brixton Station Road and 6 Canterbury Crescent

Delivering new homes, workspace, market infrastructure and public realm improvements that benefit the Borough’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. Following a competitive process, the Council has selected London Square as its development partner who will work with the Council and the local community to come up with detailed proposals for the sites in line with the council’s Local Plan objectives of delivering new homes, workspace, market infrastructure and public realm improvements that will benefit the Borough’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 that 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. This also takes account of the need for additional design work and further community engagement and public consultation activities in relation to the sites following a period of Appreciative Inquiry and sortition led co-design workshops in summer 2023.
