The scheme has been situated in Bermondsey by regional developer Orchard Homes Group.

The ground floor of the scheme provides three commercial units with the first floor providing office space.

Located on the site of the Collen Bawn pub, which first opened in 1869 and was most recently a solicitor’s office, the scheme is moments from ‘The Blue’, a market square which has been operating for over 230 years.

Marc Faure, head of new homes at KALMARs, said: “The apartments and houses at 196 Southwark Park Road will provide residents with a lifestyle of luxury.

“The interiors on offer are ideal for home owners who value attractive design and layouts, while the commercial units are a savvy investment opportunity as Bermondsey is on its way to becoming one if London’s most up-and-coming commercial areas.

“With the scheme just moments away from Bermondsey underground station, residents will also profit from excellent connectivity.”
