Demand in the South East London & Kent market moved to a new peak level in the six months to Q1 2026, standing at 10.1m sq ft. The main impetus behind the upturn in demand was the increase in requirements for Big Box and Mid Box units which were up by 41% to 7.0m sq ft and 11% to 1.1m sq ft respectively. Requirements for units below 50,000 sq ft were down by 37.7% following a strong period of activity in 2025/Q1 26.
