Asylum Road, Peckham, London, SE15

Architecture & interior
The Carlton Works is a grand piece of Victorian industrial architecture. The building is atypical of industrial architecture with high ceilings and Crittall windows throughout.

Set back from the road, the building is nestled away behind iron gates providing tranquillity and calmness.

Whilst the location is extremely central, it's a remarkably quiet place to live. Located on the second floor, the space offers a large open plan lounge area with a compact kitchen attached, as well as an undisturbed south-facing view.

The kitchen cabinet doors are covered with an oxidised steel to give a metallic finish.

There's a separate double bedroom enjoying that industrial aesthetic with more windows and the high ceilings. There is plenty of storage in the bedroom with triple height cupboards that reach to the ceiling. The high ceilings, expanse of walls and windows set the scene nicely and embody loft living.

The monochrome bathroom provides a bath alongside an overhead shower.
Amongst the sea of regeneration, it's refreshing to see an authentic industrial building surrounded by all the bland, new developments.
