The Telegraph has identified multiple properties in London owned by the Russian Federation. These properties have come under scrutiny as demands increase for Russian assets to be seized to support Ukraine’s war effort. Some properties have restrictions on their sale without Ukraine’s consent and are occupied by Russian speakers. The revelation of these properties has raised questions about Russian influence in London. One of the properties owned by the Russian Federation is located in a leafy area of north London. Neighbours have reported that the property appears vacant and in a state of disrepair. The house is part of a private estate believed to be owned by the Russian Federation. Nearby, the Russian trade delegation occasionally tends to the property, while British intelligence services own a neighboring house. The property owned by the Russian Federation is estimated to be valued at around £2.3 million. Residents of the house are described as Russian, indicating a strong Russian presence in the area. The presence of these properties has sparked discussions about foreign ownership and surveillance in London.
