Bob Dawson, head of the Regent Street portfolio at The Crown Estate, said: “On-going investments such as Morley House are an important part of our long-term commitment to London’s West End and support our vision to refocus the area north of Oxford Circus around high-quality lifestyle and leisure, complementing the fashion-led offer on the rest of Regent Street.”
