Of course the genius property tycoon doesn't know the embassy site was only ever leased from Grovesnor Estates as they supposedly asked for return of land stolen in the War of Independence before selling the freehold. Aristocracy/10
Yep, leased from the Duke of Westminster for a peppercorn rent. So if the land had been 'sold' by the U.S. it would be for even less than peanuts...
It is a 999 year lease though, so it's a while until that would become an issue.
