The hub will be used by retailers, designers and makers, and be located at Eccleston Place, close to Victoria Station. It will be designed by architects BuckleyGrayYeoman and consist of four buildings that will be reconfigured and refurbished to create 80,000 sqft. of shops, restaurants and co-working space.

Paul White, Director of BuckleyGrayYeoman, said: “The Eccleston Place development draws on the surrounding Belgravia street pattern to create life and activity in a currently under-used group of buildings.”

The project will include a co-working space to be used by a mix of creative businesses, a retail space for emerging makers and designers, cafés and restaurants, a boutique fitness space and a landscaped courtyard and community space. It will also have a new pedestrian route leading from Ebury Street to the courtyard, which will connect the hub with Elizabeth Street’s contemporary retail.

Anna Farnes, Director of London Estate Development Programme, Grosvenor Britain & Ireland, said: “This is a really exciting opportunity to convert an underused space in South Belgravia into a creative hub for entrepreneurs and independent retailers. This new place - for visitors, workers and residents – will play an important part in contributing to the diverse and creative character of the area.”
