Blythe House in Kensington, W14, could be sold off as part of the government’s rationalisation initiative.
Speaking at a cabinet office event entitled Government Property 2015: the next ten years, Francis Maude MP said: “We will consider the benefits and costs of the relocation of the museum collections currently housed at Blythe House in Kensington, a five-acre site in central London, together with disused airfields and army barracks, surplus prisons and long-abandoned government laboratories where we can build the homes of the future.”
Maude also said that Sunningdale Park would soon be coming to market, as tipped by Estates Gazette last year.
He also said that in the future, the market values of land and property would be playing a larger role in the government property unit’s decision making process, and encouraged developers to approach the government with plans for underused sites.
