About The Round

Located in the heart of Southwark, London SE1, this prestigious mixed use development is set to redefine urban living and working. Designed by the renowned Foster + Partners, as a new London place to bring everyone together, — the Round will be a tapestry of inspirational offices, beautiful homes, community spaces and a new public circle embracing social wellbeing. A place for people to learn, share and reconnect with one another.

The project comprises two residential towers offering 433 homes, 40% of which are affordable, alongside a 44-storey office tower. Scheduled for completion in 2030, the Round centers around a vibrant public plaza and features social and green spaces, alongside cultural and educational amenities such as a 300-seat auditorium, which elevate the area’s sense of community.

With sweeping panoramic views, the three iconic towers will be home to leading business and an active community. At the geographic centre of London in cultural Bankside, The Round sits alongside global galleries like Tate Modern and Southbank Centre, creating an enriching life and high performing workplace.

Residents will enjoy proximity to London’s cultural highlights, bustling streets, and the River Thames. The development emphasises modern design with terraces, natural lighting, and an impressive mix of materials, fostering an inviting and dynamic environment.

Additional highlights include an all-electric approach to achieve net-zero emissions, 20,000 sq ft of affordable workspace, retail and dining options, and the rejuvenation of the Mad Hatter pub. Targeting Well Community Gold, BREEAM Outstanding, WiredScore Platinum, SmartScore Platinum and and energy efficiency rating of A, this project reflects a commitment to sustainable urban living, setting a benchmark for inclusiveness and connectivity in Central London.
