Land Securities has 9.7 million sq ft of office and retail accommodation in Central London with approximately 50,000 people working in offices owned or rented by them alone.

This too will impact on landlords and their confidence which will cause This will further create a commercial property market which will be supportive for those who are looking for new offices.
