    A London housebuilder that works on old industrial land: gasworks, an arsenal, a railway goods yard

    Berkeley Group

    Berkeley Group was founded in 1976 by Tony Pidgley and is based in Cobham, Surrey. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and builds across London, Birmingham and the South of England, nine in ten of its homes on previously developed land. In the year to April 2026 it handed over 4,076 homes. Its London schemes are large and take years to finish, and three of the seven in our catalogue are built around Victorian gasholder frames that were kept rather than cleared. Berkeley works through its own companies, so the name on a brochure is often St George or St William rather than Berkeley itself.

    THE TRACK RECORD

    Berkeley Group's record.

    Berkeley is known for regeneration and for keeping what was on the land. At King's Road Park a Grade II* listed gasholder from 1829 is the centrepiece; at Oval Village one of the apartment buildings sits inside a Grade II listed gasholder of 1847; at Camden Goods Yard listed railway warehouses and stables stay. It hires well-known architects for the big schemes: Foster + Partners at King's Road Park, RSHP at Regent's View, which won Best Future Residential Development at the World Architecture Festival in 2024, and Piercy and Company at Camden Goods Yard. In March 2023 it signed the government's self-remediation contract, taking on life-critical fire-safety defects in buildings it developed in the 30 years to April 2022.

    Delivery record

    Berkeley does not build many small sites. It works on about thirty long regeneration schemes, most of them in London, and stays on each for a decade or more. Royal Arsenal Riverside in Woolwich is about 25 years in and still adding buildings. At Woodberry Down in Hackney, a partnership with Hackney Council and Notting Hill Genesis, more than 2,900 homes are finished and the masterplan was raised to 6,500 in October 2025. In 2014 it set up St William with National Grid to build on former gasworks, and in 2022 it bought National Grid's half; Regent's View in Bethnal Green is one of those sites.

    Years active

    Fifty years, since 1976. More than 21,900 homes in the last five years, 4,076 of them in the year to April 2026

    Financial strength

    Listed and profitable: £451.4m before tax in the year to April 2026, with £363m of net cash at the year end. It holds 52,763 plots across 59 developments. In April 2026 it stopped buying new land outside joint ventures, citing the tax and regulatory load on housebuilding, and is building out what it already owns.

    SIGNATURE COMMUNITIES

    Berkeley Group flagship destinations.

    Riverside neighbourhood with a 35-floor tower, by St George
    Wandsworth Mills
    383 homes on 3.4 acres beside the River Wandle in SW18, on the site of Middle Mill, which made dyes in the late 1500s. The Artisan Tower rises 35 floors, and around it stand lower buildings and nine Grade II listed townhouses converted into 16 apartments. Residents have The Retreat, three floors given over to an indoor pool, a thermal spa with a snow room, a gym, two screening rooms and a golf simulator. Wandsworth Town station is a five-minute walk.
    Thames-side regeneration of the former Royal Arsenal, Woolwich
    Royal Arsenal Riverside
    The land goes back to the Woolwich Dockyard that Henry VIII founded in 1512, and took the name Royal Arsenal in 1805. Berkeley has been building here for about 25 years, and the neighbourhood now has its own Elizabeth line station, a Thames Clipper pier, a farmers' market and the four-acre Maribor Park. Residents share The Waterside Club, with a 20-metre pool, sauna, steam room, gym, private cinema and a 24-hour concierge. The newer buildings are Sailors Wharf, Seafarers Wharf and Lantern Wharf in West Quay, and The Maribor.
    Homes inside the Bethnal Green gasholders, by St William
    Regent's View
    RSHP turned the Victorian gasholders on the Regent's Canal into 555 homes in five buildings. Gasholder No.2, finished in 1866, is the oldest surviving large gasholder frame; the largest, from 1889, now holds Frameworks, a residents' club of about 8,150 sq ft with a squash court, screening room, co-working space, sauna and a rooftop bar. The grounds add 1.75 acres of public gardens by Gillespies, and Cambridge Heath station is five minutes away on foot.
    Gasworks regeneration next to the Kia Oval, Kennington
    Oval Village
    The Halo, 199 homes, is built inside Oval Gasholder No.1, a Grade II listed wrought iron frame from 1847 that looks over the cricket ground. Beside it The Pinnacle rises 18 floors. The 1847 Club, named after the gasholder, has an 18-metre crescent pool, a hydro pool, a spa and a 22-seat cinema. There are 2.5 acres of gardens, and Vauxhall, Oval and Kennington stations are each under ten minutes' walk.

    Signature style

    Berkeley's London schemes follow a pattern. They are big sites built in phases, often on former industrial land, and they keep the old structures: the gasholder frames at Oval Village, Regent's View and King's Road Park, listed railway buildings at Camden Goods Yard, listed townhouses at Wandsworth Mills. Each has a residents' club with a 24-hour concierge, and most of the clubs have a pool, a gym, a cinema room and space to work. Inside, the apartments come with integrated Siemens, Miele or Bosch appliances depending on the scheme, heat-recovery ventilation and, in most buildings, comfort cooling.

    THE HONEST VIEW

    Strengths & considerations.

    Where Berkeley Group shines
    • Every development in our catalogue is sold on a 999-year lease with a peppercorn ground rent, so there is no annual ground rent to pay
    • New homes carry a ten-year building warranty, with Berkeley's own two-year customer warranty covering the first two years
    • Each site is a short walk from a station: Royal Arsenal Riverside has its own Elizabeth line stop, King's Road Park is 300 metres from Imperial Wharf, Camden Goods Yard six minutes from Chalk Farm
    • Large residents' clubs: a 25-metre pool at King's Road Park, 20 metres at Royal Arsenal Riverside, 19 at Camden Goods Yard and 18 at Oval Village
    • Plenty of open space on site: 14 acres at Grand Union, six at King's Road Park, the four-acre Maribor Park at Royal Arsenal Riverside
    • Listed gasholders, warehouses and townhouses give the schemes a character of their own
    • A listed company with £363m of net cash at the end of April 2026
    Worth considering
    • Most schemes are built in phases over many years, so building work carries on around the first residents for a long time.
    • Some club facilities sit in later buildings and open after the first homes are lived in. At Oval Village part of the 1847 Club is in a block still being built.
    • The flats are leasehold, as almost all London flats are, and the service charge pays for the concierge, the clubs and the grounds. Ask for the budgeted charge for the building you are looking at.
    • Buyers who live abroad pay stamp duty in England with a 2% non-resident surcharge, and most also pay the 5% higher rate for additional homes.

    GOOD TO KNOW

    Common questions about Berkeley Group.

    Who is Berkeley Group?+

    A British housebuilder founded in 1976 by Tony Pidgley, with its head office in Cobham, Surrey. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker BKG and builds in London, Birmingham and the South of England, mostly on previously developed land. Rob Perrins is executive chair and Richard Stearn chief executive.

    Why do the brochures say St George or St William?+

    They are Berkeley companies. St George builds Wandsworth Mills, Grand Union and Camden Goods Yard. St William began in 2014 as a joint venture with National Grid to build on former gasworks, became wholly Berkeley's in 2022, and builds Regent's View. The other three schemes in our catalogue carry the Berkeley name itself.

    Where does Berkeley build in London?+

    Its seven developments on Palmera are in Wembley, Camden, Bethnal Green, Fulham, Wandsworth, Kennington and Woolwich. Elsewhere in London it is building Woodberry Down in Hackney and Kidbrooke Village in Greenwich, among others.

    Are Berkeley homes freehold or leasehold?+

    Leasehold, which is the normal way to own a flat in England. Every development in our catalogue is sold on a 999-year lease, and the ground rent is a peppercorn, which means nothing to pay each year. The service charge for the building is separate.

    What do residents get on a Berkeley development?+

    A private club and a 24-hour concierge. At King's Road Park the club has a 25-metre pool, a spa and two cinemas; at Camden Goods Yard a 19-metre pool and three screening rooms; at Grand Union a bowling alley; at Regent's View a squash court and a rooftop bar.

    Can a buyer from abroad buy a Berkeley home?+

    Yes. There is no restriction on foreign nationals owning a home in England in their own name, though owning one gives no right to live in the UK. A buyer who lives abroad pays stamp duty with a 2% non-resident surcharge, and most also pay the 5% higher rate that applies when the buyer owns another home.

    What warranty comes with a Berkeley home?+

    A ten-year building warranty from an insurer such as NHBC, with Berkeley's own two-year customer warranty over the first two years.
