Big news for Clapham Junction! The Arding & Hobbs building, a landmark that’s been a part of the area’s history since 1910, is about to take on a new life.
London-based workspace provider x+why will occupy the top floors, bringing 27,500 sq ft of flexible workspace with purpose at its core. If you’re in South London, this means a fresh option for hybrid working, an inspiring hub for meet-ups, and the chance to soak in London’s skyline from a new roof terrace.
With a thoughtful interior that nods to the building’s history, x+why’s own design team, whydesign, is creating spaces that capture the charm of Arding & Hobbs’ Edwardian Baroque style while adding eco-conscious, modern touches. Expect salvaged materials, carefully curated vintage furniture, and a focus on sustainability in every corner.
The restored Arding & Hobbs building isn’t just for office-goers; it’s now a destination with options for everyone. After-work drinks, fitness sessions at Third Space, and dining at local favorite Botanica Hall are just a few perks you can enjoy here. Plus, with x+why’s shared cultural calendar and events lineup, there’ll be a lot to look forward to.
For businesses, locals, and anyone commuting from Clapham Junction, this is a space that redefines how we work and play. Whether it’s a private desk or just a place to soak up some community vibes, the new Arding & Hobbs reimagines Clapham Junction’s heartbeat—and we can’t wait to see it come to life in spring/summer 2025.
