City Fringe in Focus seminar

11 September 2025 to 11 Sep 2025
8:00 am to 10:00 am

The City Fringe – spanning parts of Islington, Hackney and Tower Hamlets – continues to evolve into one of London’s most dynamic sub-markets, driven by a booming tech and creative scene and enhanced Elizabeth line connectivity. The area is identified in the London Plan as having the potential to deliver 50,500 new jobs by 2041. 

At this breakfast seminar, CPA members will hear from industry experts and policymakers on the latest market trends and key factors driving the City Fringe’s continued rise, its development and investment landscape, and what is attracting occupiers to the area. 

Join us for the event at BGO’s The Waterman, a retrofitted Victorian warehouse comprising 70,000 sq ft of office floorspace located just five minutes from Farringdon’s Elizabeth line station.

Date: Thursday 11 September
Time: 8:00am – 10:00am
Venue: The Waterman, 151 Farringdon Road, EC14 3AB
