Dr Martens London HQ Secures 20 Whitfield Street

Dr Martens London HQ has signed a 15-year lease for 40,410 sq ft at 20 Whitfield Street, London. With this move, Kinney Green advised Dr Martens on the lease. The brand is consolidating its London operations into a single, modern, high-quality workspace. This relocation brings staff from two offices together in one central location. As a result, the company creates a collaborative and flexible working environment.

Meanwhile, Global Holdings Management Group acquired the former transport police building in 2023. They are completing a comprehensive refurbishment this year. As part of the project, designed by Hale Brown Architects and delivered by contractor Make One, several key upgrades are being implemented:

  • New facades and exterior improvements to give the building a fresh, modern appearance

  • Multiple terraces to provide outdoor space for occupiers

  • Cycle storage and commuter facilities to support sustainable transport

  • An additional penthouse floor, adding premium office space

  • Modern interiors with flexible layouts and collaborative workspace design

In addition, Dr Martens’ relocation ensures employees benefit from premium facilities, excellent natural daylight, and modern amenities. Furthermore, the move reflects the growing demand for well-designed offices in London’s prime business districts.

Josh Lawrence, CEO of Global Holdings Management Group UK, said:

“20 Whitfield Street is a prime workspace in London. Moreover, we worked closely with our design partners to create an environment that attracts and retains talent. It also enables collaboration. Exceptional design and amenities are why premium occupiers like Dr Martens choose our buildings.”

Kinney Green’s role in advising Dr Martens highlights our expertise in occupier-led office transactions. We ensured a smooth and efficient relocation process.

Overall, this lease shows the appeal of 20 Whitfield Street as a premium London office space. It is ideal for companies seeking flexible, modern, and high-quality workspaces that enhance employee experience while also supporting business growth.
