## About

Metal Box Factory is a converted 19th-century tin box factory on Great Guildford Street in Southwark, redeveloped by Workspace® into private offices and studios built around a vaulted atrium under a clear roof — one of the more architecturally distinctive addresses in SE1. Abundant natural light pours in through the glazed roof and, in certain studios, through floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto private rooftop balconies with London skyline views. An enclosed roof garden adds further outdoor space above street level. Spaces are available unfurnished on flexible agreements, giving small teams, startups, and agencies full scope to fit out and brand their own office. Eight meeting rooms accommodate 6 to 16 people, starting from £46 an hour, including a third-floor boardroom with an 80-inch screen. Hank & Ginger café sits on site; 24/7 access, a staffed reception desk, phone booths, showers, cycle storage, and DDA-compliant lifts complete the offering. Viewings are available on request.
