EDGE London Bridge

EDGE London Bridge, situated within the emerging tall-building cluster near The Shard, is set to be one of the country’s most sustainable tall buildings. The first UK project by pioneering real estate developer EDGE, the slender 28-storey tower will offer exemplary workspaces to both established businesses and local start-ups. The building’s open, four-storey plinth will comprise a publicly accessible lobby, café, auditorium and free flexible workspaces. It will also provide tenants with accessible outdoor spaces including a new public park, planted balconies and a shared roof terrace, plus a fully equipped gym and over 500 cycle storage spaces. The tower’s expressed structural frame honours Bermondsey's Victorian engineering heritage. Inside the design fosters vertical connectivity, promoting interaction across levels, with flexible CLT floorplates allowing for adaptable internal configurations. The compact plan is designed to deliver generous daylighting and panoramic views, while the high-performance glazed terracotta elevations will optimise shading and minimise solar heat gain and glare. Openable façade elements on each level will offer natural ventilation, while smart building technologies, including chilled ceiling panels with integrated lighting sensors will enhance workplace comfort with minimal environmental impact. The building is designed to achieve BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinum accreditations. Bold, vibrant and verdant landscaping is conceived as an integral part of the public realm, and will cascade into the building interior, increasing the site’s biodiversity and allowing workers and residents opportunities to connect with nature in this urban setting. Bespoke design elements also include signage made from clay salvaged from the foundations.
