Fora Signs 46,332 Sq. Ft. Deal To Bring Flexible Workspace To Iconic 76 Southbank
02 July 2026
 

Wolfe Asset Management Ltd has announced that flexible workplace provider Fora will operate a total of 46,332 sq. ft. at 76 Southbank, comprising a 38,332 sq. ft. office lease alongside a management agreement covering 6,000 sq. ft. of amenity space.

Fora will join leading global occupiers LEGO and PayPal at 76 Southbank, further underlining the building’s appeal as one of London’s most sought-after workplace destinations.



Fora will bring its premium flexible workspace to 76 Southbank, providing high-quality offices designed for small and scalable businesses. Wellness will sit at the heart of the offer, with amenities including a gym, Pilates studio and a treatment room, in addition Fora will create a lounge, café and community-focused event spaces for Fora members and wider occupants at 76 Southbank.

The deal marks a significant step in Fora’s continued growth story, expanding its network of 62 buildings across Central London. 76 Southbank provides an opportunity to bring the Fora experience to a prime Southbank location, within an iconic Thames-side building that combines architectural heritage, sustainability and best-in-class workplace design.

Connectivity was central to Fora’s decision; 76 Southbank is within a 10-minute walk of six stations, including Waterloo, Charing Cross and Blackfriars, providing direct access to the West End, City of London and Canary Wharf.

76 Southbank is a Grade II listed, 300,000 sq. ft. sustainable office building adjacent to the National Theatre. The iconic building has undergone transformation and an extension, delivered with Stanhope as Development Manager, LaSalle Investment Management as Asset Manager and overseen by Multiplex as the Main Contractor. The building is the last significant work of Sir Denys Lasdun, the brutalist architect behind the National Theatre, and has been reimagined by AHMM.

Setting new standards in low-carbon office design, 76 Southbank is targeting BREEAM Outstanding certification and NABERS Design Reviewed Target Rating of 5 Stars, with refurbishment retaining 80% of the iconic structure for future generations.

The building features 50,000 sq. ft. of outdoor terraces with panoramic river views and biophilic landscaping. A double-height entrance lobby creates a generous arrival experience, anchored by a striking centrepiece staircase.

Leading real estate agencies CBRE and JLL acted as agents for 76 Southbank. CBRE acted for Fora. Taylor Wessing advised for 76 Southbank and Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer for Fora.

Kevin Darvishi, Head of Leasing at Stanhope said: “Fora’s decision to select 76 Southbank marks another significant milestone for the building and further reinforces its position as one of London’s most compelling new workplace destinations. Their arrival will bring a dynamic hospitality-led workspace offer to the ground floor, supported by high-quality amenities and wellness facilities that will benefit the wider occupier community.”

Chris Lewis, Managing Director, International Accounts, Europe, LaSalle Investment Management said: “76 Southbank’s central location provides a natural pull for occupants seeking convenience and connectivity. Recent refurbishments, conducted sensitively with best-in-class sustainability standards, also offer high quality workplace amenities that blend inspiring spaces for collaboration with breakaway areas for personal focus and mindful wellbeing. Building on the recent leasing activity with the likes of LEGO and PayPal, we look forward to welcoming the next generation of small businesses via Fora, as well as more large enterprise through the property’s last remaining vacancy.”

Toby Ogden, President of Fora, said: “We actively target buildings and partnerships where we can add real value. We look for design, character, and commitment to improving the workplace experience for all. At 76 Southbank, we’ll build on what’s already an exceptional asset, bringing wellness, shared amenities and a genuine professional community into day‑to‑day work.”
