STRATEGICALLY PLACED

Imperial College is helping shape the area into a new district for deep-tech innovation and enterprise.

Imperial’s investment in Old Oak includes the advanced manufacturing site Grapht Works, which sits five minutes away from our site.

The implications for innovators are profound and unique for a London Zone 2 location, allowing them to move seamlessly from our labs to pilot space, and iterate without the commute.

That's why an increasing number of innovative companies are choosing this area for their scaling and manufacturing developments.
