The Kensington Building

Light grey Kolumba in new Kensington building

The Kensington Building

The Kensington Building, situated 127 Kensington High Street, is an inspiring new place to work in one of central London’s most exciting neighbourhoods.

The Kensington Building

The Kensington Building has flexible floor plates, high levels of natural light and alongside a number of carefully landscaped terraces.

The Kensington Building

The building has excellent sustainability credentials; by reusing and repurposing 60% of the existing structure and foundations, embodied carbon has been reduced by 30% compared to a typical new-build office, while 100% of the building’s electricity comes from carbon neutral sources.
