Cheyne Capital 13-14 Buckingham Gate is located on the south side of Buckingham Gate immediately opposite Wellington Barracks and within 50 metres of Buckingham Palace. The Foot Guards Battalions located in the Barracks guard Buckingham Palace and have been in residence since the year before the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Much of Buckingham Gate, including the subject building was originally built as town houses in the mid 1800’s. Whilst most were converted to offices, hotels and embassies during the latter half of the 1900’s, many are now being converted back for residential use. Victoria is an established office, residential and retail location and forms an integral part of the London West End market. Located in the City of Westminster it is bordered by St James’s to the north, Belgravia and Knightsbridge to the west and the River Thames to the south and east. Whilst Victoria already includes almost a quarter of all office accommodation in the West End, 2.0m sq ft of anticipated development in and around Victoria Station over the next few years will dramatically increase the amount and quality of residential, office and retail stock. The subject building benefits from being within 500 metres of Victoria Station, one of London’s busiest transport interchanges. Victoria’s Mainline Railway Station, in particular, is the second busiest in the UK providing services to Gatwick Airport, South London, Kent and Sussex. A £700m refurbishment of the Station is due for completion in 2018. Victoria Underground Station provides direct connections to Midtown and the City to the east and Oxford Street, Edgware Road and Kings Cross to the north via the Victoria, Circle and District lines.
