The Connector / Turning Industrial Land into Innovation Powerhouses

March 09, 2026

In this episode of The Connector, Belinda Coates sits down with Rob Beacroft, Co-Founder of Lateral, to unpack how underused industrial land can be transformed into a world-class innovation district.

At the heart of the conversation is Camley Street in London’s Kings Cross, a project setting new benchmarks for blending life sciences, social housing, affordability and long-term ecosystem thinking.
