The Granville / RCKa

Andreas Luco — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 01:00:00 +0000

The Granville is a workspace and community hub located in South Kilburn offering affordable workspace to local entrepreneurs and provides space for community events. It houses South Kilburn Trust and their services including business advice, employment training and resident activities; and incorporates existing uses ranging from a children’s centre to a community kitchen. The refurbishment of the 19th century church hall, is an ambitious example of mixed-use, community-led regeneration as the centre is the result of a two-year long partnership between a diverse range of project partners and local people determined to bring this treasured community asset back into full use.

The East Street Library project has been delivered as part of a wider ‘What Walworth Wants’ strategy commissioned by Southwark Council and the Greater London Authority to make significant improvements to the area. Along with East Street Market enhancements, the project is one of two ‘catalyst projects’ that have been realised as part of the strategy, with funding secured from the Mayor of London. Now a bright red extension pokes out into the street from the existing 1960s building and appears markedly different from its surroundings to suggest the new functions contained within.
