US sportswear giant Nike and London-based streetwear/skateboarding brand Palace haven’t just collaborated but are “redefining collaboration” with the opening of Manor Place, a “new cultural landmark” in South London on 11 November. It also marks the introduction of their just-launched first co-branded product line, the P90 collection.

Already a local historic landmark (close to a regenerating Elephant & Castle neighbourhood), built in 1895 and “steeped in sport heritage”, the venue has been revitalised as a key “vibrant hub for sport, creativity and community — open to all every day, free of charge”.

Manor Place is also “designed to inspire the next generation of creatives, skaters and football players” through three distinct zones: The Park and The Cage, The Front Room, and The Residency.

So what’s on offer? The Park and The Cage are set to become a “world-class polished concrete skatepark” featuring ramps, ledges and benches that sit directly above a one-of-a-kind underground football cage, “creating a rotating playground system and unique, multi-use space”.

The Park also includes “architectural nods” to Palace’s other London skate spots (Southbank, Stockwell and Victoria Benches) “in a versatile space that will host skate jams, girl-only sessions and special event programming”.

On game days, The Cage will surface from below ground, to host invitational three-on-three seasonal football leagues, community competitions and open play.

Meanwhile, the Front Room showcases work from emerging and established London artists while serving as a cultural hub for workshops, panel talks and pop-ups. The opening exhibition features works by photographer Alasdair McLellan, while new exhibitions will be displayed every two to four weeks.

The area will also allow the collaborators retail space for present exclusive Nike x Palace drops.

Also, The Residency offers studio space to six emerging creatives on a nine-month rotating basis, “empowering the next generation of talent”. Residents participate free of charge and have the opportunity to exhibit their work in The Front Room. Applications for the next intake open in spring 2026. 

Lev Tanju, co-founder and creative director of Palace, said: “We had an idea of creating a large space for the community that would be about skateboarding and sport, and a space you could generally hang out in.

“When we spoke about the project, we knew Nike was the only brand in the world that could make something like this happen. We want Manor Place to be something positive for London — a city that has given us so much — and we’re really excited to give something back.”

Gareth Skewis, fellow Palace co-founder, added: “Lev and I wanted to try and create something new, something that’s really community-based. That’s a word that is often bandied about without any real meaning behind it. 

“I want Manor Place to be somewhere safe and friendly where people can skate, play football and discover new things — all just down the road from where Palace was founded.”

But the story doesn’t end there. The Manor Place opening also marks the launch of that P90 collection, “inspired by early 2000s football culture and designed for both skaters and football fans”.  

The collection features shell suits, football jerseys and trainers with bold P90 graphics, as well as signature hoodies, tracksuits, sweaters, shorts and T-shirts featuring the Palace Tri-Ferg and layered Nike Swoosh.
