Lisson Grove Studios

 

Lisson Grove Studios

A new mixed-use enterprise hub located within Daventry House on Lisson Grove, opened in January 2026. Designed to support the growth of creative industries in Westminster, the hub offers a vibrant mix of workspaces and communal amenities across five split-level floors.

The development includes:

  • 38 creative enterprise studios (420m2)

  • 22 co-working desk spaces

  • A shared meeting room (7m2)

  • Two phone booths

  • A large exhibition space (87m2)

  • A communal café (75m2)

  • A yoga studio (41m2)

Designed by Brown Urbanism for workspace provider Arbeit Studios, the hub is housed within a commercial ground-floor shell, reimagined to foster collaboration and creativity.

Lisson Arches will provide workspace for SMEs, independent businesses, designers, makers, and entrepreneurs. It also aims to serve the wider Westminster community by offering events and facilities that encourage engagement and creative exchange.

The architectural concept is centred around visibility, interaction, and adaptability—encouraging serendipitous encounters and shared experiences, while also supporting focused, productive work. A series of translucent partition systems define micro studio units, creating a series of light-filled islands interspersed with communal corridors, desk areas, and support facilities.

Studios range in size from 5 to 12m² and are designed to maximize natural light, fresh air, and spatial efficiency. Each unit includes opening windows*, high ceilings, mechanical ventilation, and fire suppression systems.

Lisson Arches represents a new model of accessible, collaborative workspace tailored for the creative sector in central London.
