As an architect in London, I see a lot of Victorian houses, so it is refreshing to be in a different kind of space,” says Louise Glynn, who is one half of architectural practice Studio 29. Having lived in a small Victorian flat conversion for some time, by 2019, Louise was ready for a change of scene. Her search for a new home began in areas within easy reach of central London. That was when she discovered Bermondsey, with its converted factories, food markets and easy access to the River Thames. “I am always an advocate for location. For me, it’s important, and I get more enjoyment from my location than I would from having an extra bathroom.”
