Royal Victoria Place lease acquired by Council

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council has agreed to acquire the Long Leasehold ownership of Royal Victoria Place from British Land.

The Council has owned the freehold of the centre since it was built and believes it is uniquely placed to secure its future and its contribution to the town centre.

The Council is committed to ensuring that Royal Victoria Place continues to play a strong role in maintaining the attractiveness of the town for residents, employers and visitors alike.

We have had a number of exciting conversations with prospective tenants – retailers, leisure operators, food and beverage providers and community groups and, working with experts in the field we are confident that we can increase both footfall and occupancy within the centre.
