Celebrating our Block tenants' successes
De Beauvoir Block is bursting with creative businesses. We’re proud to share their successes and shine a light on the exemplary talent at the Block.
Here’s what some of our tenants have been up to…
Fashion
King & Tuckfield, a luxury, slow fashion and responsible clothing line created by Stacey Wood has hit a huge milestone with the opening of their first store!
Visit the new abode at 40 – 42 Chiltern Street in West London and while you’re there, why not treat yourself to something special? You can also follow them on Instagram here.
Architecture
DRDH Architects has completed a remarkable new civic building in Sidcup, South-East London, that combines the first library in the area for 23 years, with a community events space, café, and a new premise for a public library. This project has been featured in the Observer and is praised for bringing another dimension to the high street and is complimented on its design and structure.
Congratulations to the team at DRDH! Read the full review here.
Immersive story studio
No Ghost was part of the team behind the much-anticipated VR adventure, Wallace & Gromit: The Grand Getaway, which is now available on the Meta Quest store page.
Watch the video trailer here: and get ready to immerse yourself in this iconic duo’s next adventure.
The Block
In other exciting news, The Block has had a stylish upgrade with new furniture, thanks to Tabitha Isobel design studio!
A gorgeous, bespoke timber bench has been added to our reception area, as well as new galvanised steel tables and chairs in the courtyard, ready for alfresco dining in the warmer weather.
Keep your eyes peeled for phase 2 coming soon…

A party powered by Gusty the wind turbine
It’s always good to host a party – but the event held on Benyon Estate land on Monday (November 4th) was a party with a purpose! In partnership with Octopus Energy and the pro-growth campaign group, Britain Remade, we welcomed journalists and guests from the energy sector to a Turbine Build Party to demonstrate the technology needed to tackle climate change.
Albers in the news
Congratulations to Albers – one of our fantastic foodie tenants – who has been hitting the headlines with good news since the opening of its new café on Englefield Road earlier this summer.
Gusty the wind turbine coming soon...
The Benyon Estate is supporting a campaign to help remove planning barriers for the creation of new clean energy in urban areas. As a result of this there is a trial taking place on the yard at the rear of 62 and 64 Southgate Road.
