The portfolio includes buildings in Victoria Street, Clifford Street, Wardour Street and Percy Street in the West End; Savoy Court in Midtown and Lime Street in the City. The three development sites to be retained by Security Capital are in The Strand, Savile Row and South Street but Security Capital will continue to manage the investment portfolio on behalf of Peabody.
