About London South Bank University ( LSBU ) has been providing flexible space for small businesses in our Technopark building since the 1980s . We are expanding this provision with a brand new building dedicated to Enterprise . The Clarence Centre for Enterprise and Innovation offers flexible office space for small businesses , as well as a permanent home to the University ’ s Enterprise and Central Research teams .
The original Grade II listed run of terrace houses and Duke of Clarence pub have been fully refurbished to an extremely high , contemporary standard yet many of the original features , such as fireplaces , remain as a link to the building ’ s heritage .
As well as office space , the enterprise centre combines formal retail units with more informal and inspirational working areas including ‘ huddle ’ and ‘ brainstorm ’ rooms , spaces for events and exhibitions and access to a landscaped garden . There is also a professional and convenient space for businesses to bring clients . All this , just minutes from Waterloo , London Bridge and Elephant & Castle overground and underground stations .
Supporting a successful business community Our tenant community is made up of established SMEs , start-ups , student businesses , academics , and the Research , Enterprise & Innovation team who share knowledge , experience and creativity to foster success and create opportunity .

Our tenant businesses contribute to the University in a variety of ways : taking on interns , giving talks and lectures , giving input into LSBU curricula , and judging our business competitions . Their current , practical knowledge and experience is highly beneficial and relevant to both students and staff .
