The site is situated on the east side of Grahame Park Way opposite the playing field of St James' Catholic High School in Colindale, North-West London. To the east is the Thameslink railway line and further to the east is the M1.
Grahame Park Way provides a mixture of residential, commercial and leisure facilities. The newly built Saracens High School is 200m to the north-west and the RAF Museum is 300m to the south.
This area has been the subject of significant investment over recent years and has greatly improved as a result. Immediately to the north-west Barratt Homes developed their Trinity Square scheme, providing 345 one and two bedroom apartments and ten houses, which was completed in 2020. The scheme is sold out. Planning consent was granted in 2022 for a nine storey 753 unit scheme at the Douglas Bader Powell estate, 650m to the north-west of the property and was granted in 2023 for 364 new homes, commercial and retail space at Grahame Park, 750m to the west.
The property has excellent connections via road and rail. Colindale Underground Station (Northern Line) is 1 km west of the property, with Mill Hill Broadway (Thameslink) 1.3 km to the north, providing connections to Kings Cross St Pancras within 22 minutes.
