Bermonds Locke, a 142-key aparthotel development, will feature 99 studios and 43 one-bedroom apartments, all-day dining with outdoor seating, a coffee shop, cocktail bar, co-working facilities, two meeting rooms and a gym.

It will be accessible from Bermondsey Street to the west, Tanner St Park to the north and Tower Bridge Rd to the east.

The Bermonds Locke development will further establish Locke’s presence in the city of London and is expected to follow the opening of Locke at Broken Wharf in spring 2020.

CEO Stephen McCall said: “We’re embarking on an exciting and ambitious phase for the Locke brand. London is where our brand originated and is a city that shares many of the same characteristics as Locke – vibrant, connected and socially immersive. Following the success of our very first opening – Leman Locke – we’re committed to continuing to invest in London and the communities within the areas we reside. The Tower Bridge Road development marks a key milestone in increasing our presence in the capital city. Bermonds Locke will bring a unique notion of luxury aparthotel living to the area, and will offer an inspired space for the thriving entrepreneurial creative and tech communities in this iconic part of the city.”
