Reasons to move to Varcoe Corner in Southwark
Love London, but finding somewhere to buy feels like a different story? Between saving for a deposit and trying to stay close to everything you love about the city, it can seem like a lot to ask.
Enter Varcoe Corner. Set in South Bermondsey, this collection of one- and two-bedroom Shared Ownership homes offers a chance to put down roots in South London, without waving goodbye to the capital.
A home that makes everyday life easier
Your first home should have room for more than just your belongings. It should have room for real life, too.
At Varcoe Corner, the apartments have been thoughtfully planned with generous layouts, natural light and clever storage. Think a kitchen with integrated appliances for those ambitious Sunday dinners, built-in wardrobes to keep the bedroom clutter at bay (we won’t judge you if you still end up with a chair covered in clothes though), and space to unwind at the end of a busy day.
Each home also has a private balcony or terrace, giving you somewhere to enjoy a morning coffee or catch a little fresh air. And when you fancy a change of scenery, the communal rooftop terrace offers views across London's skyline. Not a bad backdrop for a catch-up with neighbours!
Get to know South Bermondsey
There's something lovely about finding a neighbourhood that feels like home. South Bermondsey has an established local community, everyday shops and a growing mix of places to explore.
For a weekend wander, head towards Bermondsey Street for its independent cafés, restaurants and galleries. For foodies, Maltby Street Market is a must-visit, with tempting street food and delicious bites at every turn. Don’t be surprised if you end up wanting to try a little bit of everything!
And if you're craving a little greenery, Burgess Park and Southwark Park are both in easy reach for a walk, a picnic or an afternoon away from the bustle.
Big city plans? Easy.
One of the perks of these new homes in South Bermondsey is how simple it is to get around.
South Bermondsey station is approximately a seven-minute walk from Varcoe Corner, with direct trains reaching London Bridge in as little as five minutes. From there, you'll find connections across London, making the weekday commute, dinner plans and last-minute meet-ups that bit easier.
A more achievable way to buy in London
If you're renting and wondering when you'll ever be able to buy, Shared Ownership at Varcoe Corner might be worth exploring.
Rather than buying a home outright, you purchase a share and pay rent on the part you don't own, alongside any applicable service charges. Because your deposit is calculated on the share you buy, you may need less upfront than you would for a full purchase. You may also be able to buy more shares later.
For eligible buyers looking for a home in Southwark, Shared Ownership could be a more achievable way to start building a future in the capital.
