The Langham Estate

Originally part of the land owned by the Earl of Oxford, which was inherited by the family of Lord Howard de Walden in the late nineteenth century. At that time the land holdings of the Howard de Walden family extended as far east as Whitfield Street, close to Tottenham Court Road.

The boundaries of the current Langham Estate were established when this land was sold in 1925 by the Howard de Walden Estate to Sir John Ellerman. The Estate remained in the ownership of his family until 1973, when part of it was sold to the British Land company. The Estate then passed through several owners including Priest Marians Holdings Plc, which was taken over in 1990 by Grovewood Plc. Grovewood was placed in receivership in October 1991. The Estate was then managed by receivers until January 1994, when it was purchased by the current owners Mount Eden Land Limited.

The modern Langham Estate has changed out of all recognition from earlier days. Through active management and a flexible lettings policy, together with new acquisitions and a rolling refurbishment programme, the Estate has grown to 13.8 acres (5.58 hectares), re-incorporating some of the buildings lost during the earlier ownerships. The number of tenants has increased to well over 500, which has added vitality to the area.
