Basing View is a 65-acre business district currently undergoing significant regeneration and is home to a mix of SMEs, professional services firms and major corporate occupiers. It is one of the South East’s best-connected business locations, with direct rail services to London Waterloo in around 45 minutes and quick access to Junction 6 of the M3. Recent investment has delivered new Grade A office buildings, improved public spaces, hotels, cafés and amenities, creating a genuine mixed-use business destination.
