Our Real Estate team has advised legal services firm Bristows on a significant prelet agreement at Bow Bells, a substantial office redevelopment in the City of London.

Bristows will relocate its headquarters from Blackfriars to occupy the top four floors of Bow Bells, comprising 70,000 sq ft of premium office space. The move marks a major milestone for the scheme, bringing occupancy to 50%.

The transaction was led by Felicity Lindsay and Jane Reyersbach who advised Bristows throughout, with input from Ashley Yarwood on construction.

Bow Bells offers a total of 145,000 sq ft of office space in a prime city location. The building is undergoing a comprehensive refurbishment to enhance its environmental performance and tenant experience, with a focus on delivering high-quality, sustainable workspace.

Commenting on the deal, Felicity Lindsay said:

"We’re proud to have supported Bristows on securing a new headquarters that reflects their ambitions for the future. Bow Bells is a forward-thinking development that places sustainability and wellbeing at its core, and this agreement is a testament to Bristows’ commitment to both their people and their clients."

The Bow Bells redevelopment is expected to complete in Q1 2026.
