Plantain Place

Plantain Place is a multi-tenure development situated in the heart of Southwark, a historic and lively borough on the south bank of the River Thames. Celebrated for blending historic culture with contemporary urban life, the area is home to landmarks including Shakespeare’s Globe, Borough Market and The Shard. With its dynamic mix of culture, business and lifestyle, Southwark stands as one of the capital’s most prestigious destinations.

Acquired by Adderstone Group in 2018, the development of Plantain Place brought together four adjoining office buildings, carefully reimagined from a Victorian stable mews. Arranged around a private gated courtyard, each workspace is self-contained, spanning single and two-storey levels, and designed to support a discerning mix of occupiers, from leading digital agencies to wellness-led businesses.

Adderstone’s considered fit-out reimagined the original architecture as a contemporary, high-specification workspace. Historic features were preserved and elevated, complemented by a refined material palette and meticulous detailing, creating a space that harmoniously blends heritage with modern functionality.

At roof level, two penthouse apartments have been introduced, adding a residential dimension that sits seamlessly above the commercial offering, with finishes that reflect the same level of quality and attention to detail.

With a total investment value of £7,000,000, Plantain Place reflects a considered, high-quality transformation. Heritage is retained and elevated through a contemporary lens, resulting in a development that is both architecturally distinctive, commercially robust and designed to endure.
