About
Currently owner-occupied, these spectacular offices, arranged across Ground and Basement levels have been recently subjected to an inspired and immensely thoughtful programme of interior design and re-modelling which now offers the
perfect set of floors for any growing or established business seeking out this exemplary Wapping location.
Approached via its own entrance and offering an entirely self-contained environment, No.s 2 – 4 Sampson Street boasts a striking set of office spaces with multiple unique features throughout created by a clever blend of architectural design and high-grade installations. From the moment you set foot into the reception lobby, eyes are drawn to the reclaimed scaffold board flooring paying homage to the area as the founder of warehouse architecture, and to the offices beyond which ooze appeal with extensive designer fittings to include light-industrial-style exposed pipework and ducting, rope and timber features, independent and zoned lighting features, polished concrete flooring and an ‘all-round’ sense of style that is hard to find in such a well-considered formula.
Given its owner-occupier status, all manner of relevant installations have been made with a firm focus on the comfort of the property's occupiers. These include a fresh-air inductions system which distributes all zones including the reception areas,
independently controllable air conditioning systems for the two open-plan areas and private offices, editing suites, and meeting rooms of which there are eight in total. The property is complemented by a 3-phase power, private phone booths, and a striking
private Conference Room/Private Theatre which perfectly accommodates presentations or private review sessions of work created.
In addition, there are ample washrooms and break-out facilities with unisex toilets separate showers and kitchen areas, alongside secure bike storage and parking for two cars.

Location
Sampson Street enjoys a very discreet, yet highly connected and inspiring location just off Wapping High Street. Originally a town and suburb in its own right, Wapping is steeped in history with its position on the north bank of the River Thames, giving it a strong maritime character, which it retains through its riverside public houses and steps, such as the Prospect of Whitby and Wapping Stairs. It also has a Royal Navy shore establishment base on the riverfront called HMS President and home to Tobacco Dock and King Edward Memorial Park.
Many of the original buildings were demolished during the construction of the London Docks and Wapping was further seriously damaged during the Blitz. As the London Docklands declined after the Second World War, the area became run down, with the great warehouses left empty. The area's fortunes were transformed during the 1980s by the London Docklands Development Corporation when the warehouses started to be converted into luxury flats and offices such as these.
The building is highly convenient in terms of transport with Wapping Overground Station a short walk away and a little further beyond, DLR at Shadwell and London underground at Tower Hill (Circle and District Lines).
Wapping remains a vibrant and desirable residential location and much has been made of the desirability of high-quality office environments within predominantly residential areas such as these.
