Go-Ahead Dennis Dart SLF LDP164 (Y864TGH) is captured in Black Prince Road, Lambeth on the 360 route. It is passing the entrance to Southbank House, since renamed China Works. This was my place of work between February 2007 and June 2015.
The building has a rich history that is reflected in its present name, as it originally served as the headquarters for Royal Doulton Pottery. The site is now owned by the Workspace Group, which leases out office suites in the building.
We landed in Southbank House after our corporate parent deemed that our publishing operation was no longer a core activity. Four of us staved off redundancy by taking over the business as an independent operation. Taking on two additional staff and using freelancers for the design and setting functions, our team of 6-7 settled into our new surroundings very happily.
On reaching pensionable age, I handed over my baton to a superb successor who continues in the job today. After a second business partner retired, the wheel turned full circle: a new and more enlightened management at our old parent company deemed that our business could indeed add value, and my old colleagues rejoined the fold in January 2024.
