Global architecture firm JTP moves head office to 19th century Docklands warehouse
Leading international architectural and masterplanning practice JTP (formerly John Thompson and Partners), is moving its head office to a listed former warehouse in the London Dock development in Wapping by developer St George. The Grade II listed Pennington Street Warehouse is being
sensitively restored to accommodate a variety of uses, including a number of routes providing public access to the site for the first time in over 200 years. The warehouse was built in the early 19th Century as part of the first enclosed commercial docks in the capital. JTP will be moving its London team of 90 staff into a new office interior which provides a contemporary design studio, whilst respecting the heritage of the listed building. The 15 acre site is being transformed into a vibrant new
neighbourhood with 1,800 new homes (486 of which will be affordable) and 180,000 sq ft of commercial space which will contribute to Wapping’s growing creative quarter. The development is set within 7.5 acres of landscaped open space, with a public square at its heart for events throughout the year and a new pedestrian boulevard and promenade.

Craig Carson, managing director of St George City said:
“We are delighted that JTP will be the development’s first permanent commercial occupier, joining 90 artists’ studios. This fantastic vaulted building, steeped in history, is fast becoming a hub for creative businesses.” JTP’s recent projects include the regeneration of St
Clement’s Hospital in Bow, Battersea Power Station, Bow River Village, The Hamptons in Worcester Park; West Hampstead Square; and Putney Wharf for St George.
