Derwent London is the largest central London office focused REIT. We are a different kind of investor and developer; our reputation is built on decisive action in four crucial areas at the heart of our progressive business model. By championing advancements in design, sustainability, technology and people-centricity, we deliver inspiring and distinctive buildings where people thrive and communities grow together.

As part of our desire to lead the industry in mitigating climate change, we have committed to becoming a net zero carbon business by 2030. In 2019, the Group became the first UK REIT to sign a Revolving Credit Facility with a 'green' tranche. At the same time, we also launched our Green Finance Framework and signed the Better Buildings Partnership's climate change commitment. We have science-based carbon targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Our investment portfolio now totals 5.4 million sq ft and is worth £4.9 billion. Landmark buildings in our portfolio include 1 Soho Place W1, 80 Charlotte Street W1, Brunel Building W2, White Collar Factory EC1, Angel Building EC1, 1+2 Stephen Street W1, Horseferry House SW1 and Tea Building E1.

The success of our business is down to a dedicated team. We are a diverse group of highly skilled professionals with a range of perspectives and corporate experience. In January 2022, we were proud to announce that we had achieved the National Equality Standard - the UK's highest benchmark for equality, diversity and inclusion. In May 2023, we were recognised on the Sunday Times Best Places to Work list. By investing in our people, we invest in our business, ensuring we generate sustainable long-term value.
