Knight Frank Malaysia & Berkeley Homes have revealed plans for the first phase of Oval Village, a two-hectare site transforming the historic Gasworks adjacent to Oval cricket ground. When complete, Oval Village will feature 1,350 homes making it one of the most significant regeneration projects in London.

At a glance:

• The first phase of Oval Village will launch on the 6TH & 7TH April with 286 Manhattan, one two and three bed apartments starting at £538,000
• When complete, Oval Village will be a major new central London destination consisting of 1,350 homes at the historic Oval Gasholders site
• Oval Village is extremely accessible, with the 3 underground tube stations of Vauxhall Zone 1, Kennington Zone 2 and Oval Zone 2 just a short walk away, served by the Victoria Line, Northern Line, and National Rail
• The development will create a new London community benefiting from new co-working space, a community centre, 100,000 square-feet of commercial space, an on-site Tesco Superstore, and residents-only leisure facilities - including a 24-hour concierge

Phase one, Phoenix Court, will launch on the 6th & 7th April through Knight Frank Malaysia at the Westin Hotel Kuala Lumpur. The release of 286 Manhattan, one, two and three bedroom apartments presents an opportunity to invest in this iconic central London development at the earliest possible stage with homes ranging in size from 413 sq. ft. to 1,092 sq.

The Oval Village development benefits from an extremely convenient central London location – it is just a short walk from Vauxhall, Kennington and Oval stations connecting to the Victoria Line, Northern Line and National rail. These stations are just 7 minutes to Oxford Circus, 9 minutes to Bank, 12 minutes to King’s Cross St.Pancras and 40 minutes to Heathrow Airport.

Set to transform Oval into a top commuter hotspot, Oval Village will transform the area into a cultural hub for residents and visitors, through the regeneration of the iconic Oval Gasholders, the provision of commercial spaces and opening up the village with communal landscaped spaces for all to enjoy.

When built in 1847, the Oval Gasholders were the largest of their kind – a magnificent feat of Victorian engineering. Now, the historic site’s restoration and redevelopment marks a new phase in its history where old will blend with new to create a new London community fit for the 21st century. Within Oval Village will sit The Generator, presenting six floors of flexible office space, a ground-floor co-working hub, 100,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, a cafe and a community centre.

Residents living in Oval Village will benefit from Berkeley Homes’ industry-leading approach to delivering outstanding residential property where convenience and comfort are paramount. A 24- hour concierge will serve every apartment, and for the health conscious, access to a private swimming pool and gym means no more pre-dawn schleps to the local leisure centre to stay in shape. An on-site Tesco Superstore will also ease the burden of the weekly shop.

Simon Howard, Sales Director, Berkeley Homes elaborates on the plans for the development and how it will feel to live in this new neighbourhood: “Oval Village is an incredibly exciting regeneration project for Berkeley Homes and we’re delighted to reach another milestone in creating a new community in this iconic location. The development will combine impeccably finished homes with public recreation and working space to create a new kind of neighbourhood with community at its heart. It will offer a sense of village living with all the benefits of being in the centre of London. As well as an incredible place to live and spend time, the fantastic Zone 2 location means that in less than a 30 minute walk you can be in the heart of the City, walking along the banks of the Thames, enjoying the West End, or relaxing in one of the many tranquil local parks.”

Dominic Heaton-Watson, Associate Director, International Residential Project Marketing, Knight Frank Malaysia, commented: “Oval Village SE11 is tremendously well-located for everything Central London has to offer and there is a significant opportunity for capital growth at this phase 1 launch. 

“With so few regeneration sites of this scale left in central London, Oval Village SE11 will see the creation of a stunning neighbourhood and vibrant destination. The project is uniquely placed in an area already serviced by extensive underground stations, an established network of leisure amenities, retail, restaurants and bars, as well as being just a short walk from the River Thames.

“Oval has one of Transport for London’s (TFL) highest connectivity ratings, is set for a marked transformation in the years to come. Given that the project’s surroundings are already well-established, unlike many other urban regeneration projects in London, it means that purchasers will be able to move in and enjoy all that the neighbourhood has to offer from day one.”  

The development is nestled in the heart of the London borough of Lambeth and in addition to sitting alongside the world-renowned cricket ground, this location means that residents will also be able to enjoy more than 60 public parks, commons and gardens which are located in the Borough. The crown jewel is the award-winning Kennington Park – just five-minute’s walk from Oval Village – with an array of leisure facilities, open grassland and a flower garden. There are also many more hidden green gems in this this part of London, including the enchantingly bohemian Bonnington Square Pleasure Gardens or Vauxhall City Farm.

Within Oval Village itself, world-renowned landscape architects are designing the public realm to create a network of private residents’ gardens. The development’s interconnected green havens will become focal points for the whole community and create one of London’s most desirable destinations to be part of. 

Berkeley Homes is committed to delivering outstanding, high-spec finish to all of the homes it creates and Oval Village’s interiors will feature a refined and minimalist material palette for a modern look, while also giving a nod to the area’s industrial heritage.

Residents can expect to see a sharp contrast of classic dark and light tiling in bathrooms with sharp angles and clean lines creating a simple and sophisticated feel. Vintage-inspired accents and fittings – including warm mango woods and powder-coated black metal – will provide clean lines and reflective finishes. This contemporary style will contrast with soft, organic furniture, to create a layered aesthetic. In the bedroom, Oval Village’s soothing colour tones and elegant soft furnishings will create a calming atmosphere and the ideal place to power down and recharge.
