Lab space to rent in Kent

Defining the future of biotech innovation, within an hour from London

Kent Science Park is home to Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, and one of the largest communities of ambitious agritech, biotech and biopharma businesses.

Less than an hour from London St Pancras International, with rail services every 30 minutes, Kent Science Park is connected nationally and ideally situated for those needing space to grow, without the London price premium.

Set in 65 acres of beautifully manicured grounds in the heart of Kent, the biotech incubator is made up of high specification labs, office and coworking spaces across 47 buildings. It was awarded the UKSPA Best Life Science Research Facility in South East England.

Kent is not just a hub for scientific innovation and Nobel Prize winning discoveries. Known as the ‘Garden of England’ – famous for its food and drink production, Kent is a county rich with history, including many Cathedrals and castles such as Dover, Deal,  Leeds and Hever Castles. You will find a spectacular coastline, which is home to some quaint seaside towns whilst also plenty of bustling towns and cities, an ideal location to live and work.

Folkestone in particular is an exciting up and coming town with a bustling town centre, paired with breath taking views. A key benefit of living in Kent is how accessible it is to London, with St Pancras International an hours train ride from Sittingbourne.
