Battersea Power Station is pleased to announce that the remaining 40,000 square feet of office space within the Power Station itself has been leased to members club, No18, which will sit next door to Apple in the iconic building, when it opens in 202
 CGI view into The Engine Room, the No18 members club space at Battersea Power Station No18 is a cosmopolitan members club for businesses with beautifully designed lounges, meeting rooms and high-end workspaces tailored to support all its members’ needs. It currently has two venues in Stockholm, Sweden. Since becoming part of IWG, a global operator of leading workspace companies that has a presence in over 110 countries, No18 has also secured a presence in the US and Switzerland during a gradual global rollout. As part of its expansion plans, the company has now secured its first presence in the UK. No18 will create a bespoke offering for the Power Station called The Engine Room. Set over two floors overlooking the light-filled southern atrium, it will look down into the two turbine halls that will house over 100 shops and restaurants for occupiers to enjoy. No18 members will also be sharing the building with Apple, the anchor office tenant, and residents living in the Power Station’s new homes. No18 provides a home for a rewarding business lifestyle. The company’s venues are akin to a blend of workspace and residence, with common areas featuring a unique eclectic aesthetic - serving as spectacular co-working spaces and casual meeting spots - and offices featuring the best conditions for work performance and potential for individual adjustments. Of the one million square feet of commercial space available in the Power Station building, 52% has now been let as office space, with the retail and leisure space now actively pre- letting. Battersea Power Station is working closely with a wide collection of heritage and emerging retail brands from the UK and across the globe to complement its vision for the 1930s and 1950s turbine halls and looks forward to announcing some of the brands that will also be calling the Power Station home. Andrew Hilston, Head of Leasing at Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC), said: “On behalf of our Shareholders, we’re very excited to welcome No18 to the remaining space in the Power Station as their first UK venue and believe this bespoke concept will offer an extraordinary place to work and do business. “With Apple’s new London campus and now No18’s innovative, design-led offering moving here, Battersea Power Station is set to become the centre of one of the London’s most exciting tech and media districts. Having these two brands signed up forms a strong base for the rest of the 750,000 sq ft office space which will be delivered in our future phases.” Michel Gordin, CEO and Founder of No18, said: "Battersea Power Station is a global icon. We believe it is the perfect fit for us – a place brimming with stories, where heritage meets novelty. We will be bringing The Engine Room, a concept that will complement the architecture of the Power Station building and provide a breath-taking environment – a true experience to visit – in which businesses and individuals can thrive in pursuit of the next big innovation. “We believe this location fits our ethos to create a sanctuary where productivity, inspiration, and style converge. We are excited to be a part of it and to open our doors.” The Engine Room will be an exciting members club and workspace, benefiting from excellent facilities such as fantastic lounge spaces with a central bar and café; a variety of co-working spaces, modern offices and meeting rooms; an events venue; and various client services. The Grade II* listed Power Station building, designed by WilkinsonEyre, is the second phase of the Battersea Power Station regeneration project, which will create one of the most exciting neighbourhoods in the world. It is located on the Thames riverside, minutes from Battersea Park to the west and the new US Embassy in the Nine Elms development area to the east. Battersea Power Station already has its own River Bus pier with frequent services to the West End, the City and further afield, and it will soon have its own Zone 1 Underground station. The first phase, Circus West Village, is already open with thousands of residents having moved in. The shops, bars and restaurants are open for business and there has been strong interest in the Power Station retail space. At least another 750,000 square feet of offices will be available in future phases of the development. The Malaysian shareholders of the Battersea Power Station project are committed to giving back to the communities in which they operate. They recognise the importance of creating shared value, and this is embedded in all their undertakings to ensure that they contribute to building a harmonious and considerate community.

About No18:
Kingston, Merton and Wandsworth Chambers of Commerce joined together to host a summer networking event at the magnificent Warren House conference centre  For the first time three nearby Chambers: Kingston, Merton and Wandsworth jointly held an event together, at the 19th Century Grade II Listed Building Warren House, now turned into a quite beautiful conference centre, which made a lovely backdrop to the talk by Sundeep Sangha, Head of Economic Development at Heathrow Airport, about the progress and planning for Heathrow expansion, a topic of great interest to West London businesses.
Many members from all three chambers mingled, networked and drank wine and ate scrumptious food provided by Warren House. John Merriman, Chair of Merton Chamber opened proceedings. One of his insights was that “If the Chamber can be honest with each other and say, ‘this is what I am struggling with’, or ‘this is what I would like to celebrate’, then the future of Chambers is very good indeed.” Steve Pinto, CEO Wandsworth Chamber, estimated that London Local Chambers of Commerce represented over 25,000 businesses, which made them a powerful voice, and lobbying capability. “I always say to our members, treat it as corporate hospitality. Bring some of your businesses to an event, because you are showing them opportunities and they will be indebted to you.” President of Kingston, Forbes Low, told an anecdote about President Kennedy meeting a janitor at Cape Canaveral Space Centre in 1962. JFK asked him, “What are you doing?” The reply was, “I’m helping put a man on the moon.” Forbes emphasised that this story showed teamwork was at the core of most things we do. His golden rules for Chamber Membership are: “Ask for help, we all need someone to give us a hand at times, Two tap into our social network, getting in front of people is better than posting on social media.” Quoting American author Zig Zagler (yes, that’s his real name), “If people like you, they’ll listen to you, but if they trust you, they’ll do business with you.’ Finally, use group power, band together with a group of people to achieve your goals quicker than on your own.” Miguel Abellan van Kan, General Manager of Warren House, explained that the centre was a “Hidden gem,” that not so many people knew about. The building is available for all sizes of conference, from the small to the large and also caters for corporate and private social events, including weddings. Jerry Irving, CEO of Kingston Chamber, compèred the event with wit and panache. The main speaker was Sundeep Sangha, who despite struggling with a sore throat, managed to compress the main issues and future developments coming for Heathrow and the surrounding area into a concise briefing. Heathrow is one of the five most major airports around the world. It has a programme of outreach to schools and the community and is also open to local businesses and is working with apprentices. Sundeep outlined the Heathrow Sustainability plan which includes trying to ensure that people coming to the airport use an enhanced public transport system, that contractors are as green as they can be with various KPIs to be implemented, and consulting with the people and businesses located around the airport. Noise is one of the major isssues, she said, “We have a 10 point action plan to make the airport quieter.” They have a league table of airlines that are ranked on their noise performance. There were some points of the plans which are still under review so Sundeep was not able to be categorical about some issues. She did say that there would be no disruption to the M25 as the new runway was built, if the plan for a tunnel under the runway goes ahead: “The traffic flow would be switched over at night so there would be no interruption.” Asked about Brexit, she said that although that was a concern for airlines, the airport itself, as a major item of UK infrastructure, they expect it would not be greatly affected by it. Jerry Irving summed up, “Networking is not about selling, it’s about building relationships, about building understanding between groups of people, so they can help each other. We are a very powerful group in terms of business we do, and development we can achieve. It is imperative that the business community has an active voice in what happens in their areas, we have to collectively come together and speak as one voice, so we can influence everyone from local authorities up to national government. SMEs are key drivers of local economies, I feel. We need to be supported and cherished.” https://www.kingstonchamber.co.uk/ https://mertonchamber.co.uk/ https://www.wandsworthchamber.org/ Julian Jackson is Wandsworth Chamber’s blogger, whose interests encompass technology, cryptocurrencies and blockchain, the environment, as well as photography and film.
