COMMUNICATION
The property is prominently located in Victoria on the west side of Artillery Row at its junction with Howick Place, immediately to the south of Victoria Street and Buckingham Gate.
The property has excellent communications being within a short walk away from Victoria Station, St James’s Park and Westminster Underground Station. Victoria Station is undergoing the first stage of upgrade works which will result in £700 million worth of investment significantly enhancing Victoria’s position as one of London’s primary transport hubs. Victoria Station is the second busiest station in the UK enjoying a footfall of more than 77 million people per year.
Victoria is becoming a centre for global luxury retail brands including Tom Ford, Jimmy Choo and Marc Newson. Most recently the Kering Group whose brands include Gucci, Saint Laurent and Stella McCartney has taken 11,600 sq ft at 62 Buckingham Gate.
Victoria Underground Station is serviced by the District, Circle and Victoria lines. Westminster and St James’s Park Underground stations are also with an easy walking distance.
The site is well positioned in an improving location, opposite to the House of Fraser department store and adjacent to One Howick Place, a substantial office led mixed use development, which houses the Head Office of Giorgio Armani S.p.A.
