LONDON LIFE

A former metal box factory built in the late 19th century, Metal Box Factory is a redevelopment that has created a landmark destination for more than 150 new and growing businesses, complete with a 20,000 square foot rooftop extension.

The new studios, many with their own rooftop balconies, showcase stunning views of London through their floor to ceiling glazing.
