Sharan Pasricha, Founder and CEO of Ennismore/The Hoxton added: “Southwark is an incredibly exciting part of London. South of the river is where we chose as home for our third London property because we’re big fans of the neighbourhood, especially the theatre and food scene and we’re looking forward to growing alongside it.

“We chose to work with Derwent London as they have re-imagined some amazing buildings in London and we’re continually impressed by their work.”
