8 South Crescent, Canning Town is now completed. It is a transformation of the industrial unit with a new and improved facade giving the building a dynamic and unique look.
This detached Industrial logistics unit is being fully refurbished with new ventilation and VRF comfort cooling and space heating systems for the office and reception areas, complete with new LED lighting installations.
The roof has been fitted with solar PV panels. The solar PV panels will provide enough renewable electricity to offset the annual operation of all internal lighting.
The unit is located in South Crescent off Cody Road within Canning Town, approximately 3 miles east of The City, in the London Borough of Newham. The area enjoys easy access to the A13 which in turn provides a swift route to Docklands, The City, A12/A102 (Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach) to the west and the North Circular Road (A406) and M25 to the east.

Watkins Payne was commissioned to design a Cat A fit-out refurbishment across the existing 11,800sq.ft building. The ground floor was completely redeveloped with a new office entrance lobby and 1,300sq.ft new retail space.
The 7,600ft² area of 7 Bermondsey Street near London Bridge Station was refurbished to high quality office accommodation, for which Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering and vertical transportation engineering. The refurbished area is spread across basement and ground floor.
The building Africa House along Kingsway near Holborn Station has been refurbished to offer 119,297ft² of high quality office accommodation, for which Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering, vertical transportation engineering, BREEAM duties and energy consultancy to achieve an EPC C rating.
The building has been meticulously refurbished to incorporate a range of sustainable features, targeting BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings.
Sustainability is incredibly important for the Client and as such the building is targeting BREEAM ‘Outstanding’, WELL ‘enabled’ Gold, alongside WiredScore Platinum. In addition, the Design for Performance approach is being adopted in order to minimise operational energy and hence carbon emissions.
