Why Rent with The Arch Company?
We manage more commercial space for small and medium-sized businesses than anyone else in the UK. Our portfolio includes 5,300 properties and 24.8 million sq ft of space, including railway arches, former station buildings and parcels of land across London and beyond.
In London, this means we understand the local market in a way that general property portals don’t. We know which arches suit food businesses and which work better for studios. We understand the questions SMEs ask before signing and are used to working through them directly.
Here’s what renting with us looks like in practice:
- Flexible lease terms: We work with businesses at different stages of growth. Whether you’re starting out or scaling up, we’ll help you agree a term that works for you.
- Transparent costs: We’re clear about rent, service charge and what’s included — with no surprises after you’ve committed.
- Ongoing support: Our team is available when things come up. We’re here to help you get settled and stay operational.
- A portfolio that grows with you: If your needs change, we have spaces across London and the UK, so you don’t have to start your search from scratch.
What Can You Use Our Bermondsey Arches For?
Our arches aren't one-size-fits-all, they suit a range of business types, and we're used to helping SMEs work out which unit fits how they actually operate.
Retail
If your business relies on footfall or face-to-face customer interaction, a Bermondsey arch can offer a distinctive, memorable space. The area’s independent retail character means customers actively seek out businesses here.
Arches work well for boutique retail, specialist showrooms and direct-to-consumer brands that want a physical presence without a high street price tag.
Food and Beverage
Bermondsey has a well-established food and drink scene. Our arches have housed breweries, wine merchants, bakeries, and food prep operations. If you're running a food business and need space with extraction potential, loading access, and the right planning use, let's talk through what's available and what would suit your setup.
Light Industrial and Storage
For businesses that need to move stock, run small-scale production, or manage urban deliveries, Bermondsey's road connections make it a practical base. Our arches offer solid floor loading, good ceiling height, and loading access, the basics that matter when you're running an operational business rather than just a desk-based one.
Office and Studio
If you want your team in a space that feels different from a generic serviced office, a railway arch in Bermondsey is worth considering. The character of the space, combined with the area's creative energy, makes it a practical choice for agencies, consultancies, designers, and professional services firms that care about where they work.
Local Businesses Thriving in Our Bermondsey Arches
We work with thousands of businesses across the UK. In Bermondsey and the wider SE1 corridor, our customers include independent food producers, creative studios, specialist retailers, and logistics operators, businesses that chose the area for its access, its character, and its value compared to more expensive parts of central London.
