"For over sixty years Land Securities have been the leaders in property investment, management and development. We provide office accommodation to more than 300,000 people and every year our retail properties are visited some 300 million times".
"It all began in 1944 when Harold Samuel, Land Securities’ founder and chairman, bought Land Securities Investment Trust Limited, which at the time owned three houses in Kensington together with some government stock.Through
the
prudent
purchase
of
London
property,
the
acquisition
of
companies
and
post
war
development
activity,
by
1969
Land
Securities
had
established
itself
as
the
UK’s
leading
property
company,
a
position
it
still
holds
today"
