MW: Tell us a little about IMERO?

Impero is an independent creative agency designed to do one thing and one thing only – return tired brands to 'Fame & Glory'.

We specialise in bringing life back to amazing brands who've fallen from glory. Famous brands are more salient, they are more top of mind, they are easier to reach for in a crowded marketplace and they get bought more.

Glorious brands create desire. Brands that stick out, are more appealing, that are consumer-centric, that make people ‘want to want them’ and are more desirable at the point of purchase.

If you want to return your tired brand to ‘Fame & Glory’ – hire us. We’re awesome!

MW: Describe what you like about your studio space and what makes it a great place to work?

We need a creative space to do what we do, and Met Wharf provides this. Exposed brick, loads of light and a whole bunch of London history in the walls, we love our Wapping home. We love being by the water too, our staff are often found enjoying the lapping of the Thames tides… its like being by the beach but close to the city.

MW: What qualities do you like about the Metropolitan Wharf?

You get a good amount of space for your money, and nicely serviced common spaces. We love that it is dog friendly!

MW: How do you find the community within the building?

Everyone is constantly sharing news, sales, charity sessions and there is always someone in the lift to chat about the building dogs with.

MW: Why did you choose the Metropolitan Wharf over other locations such as Shoreditch or Soho?

The price is competitive but it’s not too far from the hustle of Shoreditch.

MW: How do visitors respond when they visit the building?

Generally, everyone thinks it’s a really beautiful space, with lots of light, and a great reception.

Community

Work at Metropolitan Wharf and be part of a thriving creative community.

Space

At the heart of Metropolitan Wharf is the Village Green, our communal area where people can work, meet, eat and relax. The entire space is stripped back to show the industrial heritage of the original building, with an elegant interior design created by Tom Dixon.

You can also tuck yourself away in one of Metropolitan Wharf’s quiet corners. The perfect balance of space, peace and privacy. 

People

Meet some of Metropolitan Wharf’s creative tenants and find out what they love about life at the Wharf.

Escape

When the sun comes out, Metropolitan Wharf opens up: the Village Green flows directly onto a riverside terrace with superb views of the Thames and Canary Wharf. During the summer this terrace is full of people working, lunching or simply enjoying the view.
