There’s something inspiring about Brunswick House. A proud but tatty Georgian mansion, it sits stubbornly amongst the looming, ever-multiplying tower blocks of Vauxhall, refusing to let the churn of modernity and encroaching flashiness knock it from its precarious perch. You imagine that more than one billionaire developer has gazed upon the prime Thameside footprint this shabby old building takes up, and shook their fists in rage upon hearing of its protected Grade II* listed status.
In 2010, Brunswick House finally started getting some serious love. Long after its time as a working men’s club had come to an end, and following on from a few years spent as a squat, brothers Jackson and Frank Boxer hosted a six month pop-up in the building, which was then – and remains – home to architectural salvage experts Lassco. Well over a decade down the line, Jackson is still there (his brother popped off to run the equally-loved Frank's rooftop bar in Peckham), casually running one of the most well-respected restaurants in London.
