13 Shad Thames London Southwark SE1 2PB
Proposal
Openreach to provide a Full Fibre Infrastructure network into the property, this involves bringing full fibre cabling in from the Openreach external network, via the existing duct work into the property, and running via the basement through existing metal trunking, to the risers and false ceiling voids of the property where we will be leaving POU (point of entry boxes) outside the internal flat doors ready for tenants to place orders for service. This is necessary as part of Openreach's exchange closure programme, the property currently does not benefit from full fibre and will be directly affected when Openreach closed Southwark Telephone Exchange and the PSTN Switch off goes ahead in January 2027.
