The Best of East London
It’s by design rather than by accident that all our creative buildings are located within the heart of East London. The renaissance of the East over the past twenty years has been nothing short of impressive. Well known for its myriad of converted warehouses, creative businesses and artists have long been at the forefront of the regeneration of the area.
East London and the Arts
Supported by its vibrant and engaged creative community East London has taken itself from a run-down and neglected area to London to become the fastest growing district in the capital. The creative industries have proven themselves to be a key element for within this regeneration, which is why Mill Co. have made the area our home since 2012.
In the UK the creative industries are described as an important economic driver of urban regeneration growing at twice the rate of the overall economy. A recent Centre for Economics and Business Research report for Arts Council England and National Museums Directors’ Council categorised ‘the regeneration effects of investment in the arts and culture’ in terms of economic, social and environmental outcomes. Although it admitted it was hard to measure it suggested that the creative industries can reverse industrial decline recommending that higher investment in the arts and culture might increase house prices. (Centre for Economics and Business Research, 2013, pp. 89-92). For this reason finding the right buildings and the right businesses to house within them, and giving back to the local communities that surround them, have become our passion!
De Beauvoir Town and Estate
Located in the heart of Haggerston, De Beauvoir town is a fabulously contrasting community of council blocks and early Victorian villas. Nestled within its centre lies the iconic Rose Lipman Building!
The history of the area is an interesting one. In 1821 William Rhodes secured a building lease for 150 acres from Reverend Peter de Beauvoir of Downham – which is where the town and Downham road get their names! He then went about building homes and subletting some parts of the neighbourhood to other builder until 1823 when a relative of the Reverend took back control. Although it was originally planned to be a purely residential area the 1930s saw a lot of the area zoned for industrial and business use.
The 1960s saw the making of the De Beauvoir Estate which provided much needed affordable housing. The ironic estate has been featured in lots of television and feature films including Top Boy, Rocks and I May Destroy You. As a place to live and work De Beauvoir is a wonderful mix of local shops, a huge range of cafes, restaurants and pubs.
Mill Co. took over the running of the Rose Lipman Building in 2012, and in keeping with our commitment to support the local communities and areas we are located in, we started a ‘payback’ scheme which sees our resident creative businesses giving back directly to the De Beauvoir community!
