The Ministry of Defence plans to sell a portfolio of nine brownfield sites across the South East as part of its rationalisation strategy.
The government department wants to concentrate its operational activities on three sites.
It plans to use the £150m from the sale of its 11 remaining sites to build up these core sites.

- Kennington Barracks, SE11 – 0.27 acres (0.11ha) that could be redeveloped as houses
