The site occupies a prominent corner position on the north side of Park Gate road in close proximity to Battersea Bridge road. The site is clearly visible from several key viewpoints and is seen in the foreground of many larger contemporary buildings. Park Gate road has along its length many different building types and uses including restaurants and bars, as does the adjacent Battersea Bridge road. To the north of the site is an area of industrial buildings that have over time been developed into a number of different uses. Most notably, the Royal College of Art Sculpture School, which sits at the rear of the site. To the South a range of four and five storey flats largely dominate. Radstock Street borders the site on the east elevation with a petrol station on the opposite side.
