To celebrate the second Open City weekend we thought we’d share some more sneak peeks and facts about Fellowship Square… 🗝

We wanted to reflect the rich cultural heritage and thriving community of makers that make up the borough, so we collaborated with several of them on the interiors of the renovation, including Isokon Plus for their beautiful bespoke furniture and clocks.

On the building you’ll find many stone carvings, including two of Amity The Lion who represents the qualities of bravery, nobility, strength, fierceness and gravitas. Can you spot Amity on the building?

You can find out more about the building by taking part in our free Fellowship Square trail which is available at the Café.
