These pleasant buildings are set back from the Harrow Road. Photo from canal towpath by Ladbroke Grove. The Italianate villa was built by 1835. In 2003 Virgin Records sold this and Portobello Dock to, and leased them back from, Derwent Valley Holdings. Their website http://www.derwentvalley.co.uk/LATEST_NEWS/151203/151203.htm says: "The waterfront complex, which comprises five office buildings totalling approximately 49,338 ft2 (4,584 m2) with 105 surface car parking spaces, is situated on two sites on either side of the Grand Union Canal. They are linked by a footbridge and together total 1.8 acres."
