Commercial Property for Sale in London Bridge
London Bridge is the district on the south bank of the Thames around London Bridge station, directly across the river from the City. The Shard stands over the station, and the riverside offices of London Bridge City run east towards Tower Bridge. Behind them are Borough Market, Borough High Street and Bermondsey Street, where Victorian warehouses have been converted into offices, studios, restaurants and galleries. Guy’s Hospital and King’s College London add a medical and academic presence.
Morgan Pryce advises businesses and investors who want to buy in London Bridge. We act only for the buyer. For leasing, see our guide to office space to rent in London Bridge. Buyers also look at Waterloo and the City of London.
London Bridge station was rebuilt in the last decade and has National Rail and Thameslink services, plus the Jubilee and Northern lines. The Jubilee line reaches Canary Wharf and Westminster directly. Borough station, on the Northern line, serves the southern part of the area, and the City is a short walk across the bridge.
Commercial Property for Sale in London Bridge: From Warehouses to Riverside Offices
Commercial property for sale in London Bridge divides into two types. The large riverside and station buildings are owned by institutions and international investors and are bought and sold at a scale beyond most businesses. The older streets offer a different kind of opportunity.
Around Bermondsey Street, Tooley Street, Borough High Street and Union Street, there are former warehouses, tanneries and workshops that have been converted to offices. Commercial space for sale in London Bridge that suits an owner-occupier generally comes from this stock.
Buyers can expect to see:
- Converted Victorian warehouses with open floors and original features.
- Self-contained office and studio buildings in yards and side streets.
- Mixed-use buildings with a restaurant or shop on the ground floor.
- Office floors on long leases within newer developments.
Ownership is varied, so freeholds are available. Buyers include creative and technology businesses, professional firms wanting to be near the City, and healthcare organisations. Try our office space calculator to size your requirement.
Before You Buy Commercial Property in London Bridge
Buying commercial property in London Bridge means looking closely at the building and its surroundings.
- Planning authority. London Bridge is in the London Borough of Southwark. Several conservation areas apply, including those covering Borough High Street and Bermondsey Street.
- Railway viaducts. Much of the area is crossed by viaducts. Check for noise and vibration and for any restrictions on works near the railway.
- Flood risk. Riverside locations are protected by the Thames defences but may still be shown in flood zones. Your solicitor’s searches and insurer should address this.
- Tall building proposals. New towers are regularly proposed around the station. Review nearby planning applications for their effect on light and outlook.
- Energy rating and tax. Check the EPC if you will let space. Stamp Duty Land Tax applies and VAT may be charged.
London Bridge suits businesses that want character and amenity, direct access to the City and Canary Wharf, and rail links to the south-east.
