This Grade II listed building has been carefully refurbished to blend the site’s historic character with sleek, modern design. Combining chic parquet floors, exposed brick walls and striking green tiling, China Works is a truly unique fusion of 19th-century utility and light, spacious contemporary interiors.
Fine & Bone is China Works’ on-site cafe. Alongside expertly brewed coffee from Bristol-based roasters Extract Coffee, the cafe serves a wide range of breakfast and lunch options, with rotating artisan specials, pastries and snacks. Proudly plastic-free and committed to using great quality ingredients, most of the fruit and vegetables are grown on a local allotment.
Relax in a variety of communal spaces available throughout China Works, with flexible options for informal meetings, client catch-ups or just a change of working environment. The building offers a mix of Art Deco-style lounge seating, high tables and open shared areas, with accessible power points available to use throughout.
Located in the heart of the Lambeth community of Vauxhall, China Works sits just a short walk from Vauxhall station and directly beside the River Thames. China Works is on the south bank, with excellent connectivity across London and enviable views of Big Ben and Westminster Palace just moments away.

Originally built in the 19th century to serve as the Victorian headquarters of the Royal Doulton pottery company, China Works is a striking terracotta landmark with a rich industrial heritage. Even today, the building still boasts an ornate Gothic exterior with gargoyle dragons, sculpted heads and distinctive pillars. Later, China Works served as a training centre for London's black cab drivers, where they learned the incredible mental map of London known as ‘The Knowledge’.
