Bethnal Green

The approximately 0.38-hectare site extends between Turin Street and Barnet Grove, immediately north of Bethnal Green Road. It currently includes the former Professional Development Centre, the Independent Living Resident Hub, temporary accommodation at 10 Turin Street and the Bethnal Green Weightlifting Club, which provides approximately 250 sq m of Class E floorspace. The surrounding area is mixed-use, with shops and homes along Bethnal Green Road and predominantly residential neighbourhoods beyond. Buildings nearby are generally two to four storeys, with taller residential buildings elsewhere in the wider area. The site is not within a conservation area and contains no listed or designated heritage assets.
