The Crown Estate

Born from an Act of Parliament in 1760, it has evolved into a modern steward of land, property, and seabed across the UK.

Its portfolio spans rural acres of farmland, forests, and minerals; iconic urban hubs like Regent Street and St James’s; and marine seabed rights.

It develops and regenerates places—mixing science parks, housing, and leisure destinations—bringing new life to towns and cities.

It is a power player in offshore wind and marine energy, managing seabed leasing and supporting floating windfarms.

Its urban precincts—West End, regional retail, workplaces, and residences—combine heritage with modern development.

Unique among landowners, it manages Windsor Great Park and the Windsor Estate, blending conservation with commercial use.

A distinctive model: it operates commercially and returns all profit to the Treasury while working in the national interest.
