Grosvenor UK Finance plc

#100,000,000 fungible tap issue of 6.50 per cent. Debenture Stock due 2026
(the "Stock")

On 8 June, 2001 Grosvenor UK Finance plc issued #100,000,000 6.50 per cent.
Debenture Stock due 2026 (the "Original Stock"). Today, the company announces
a fungible tap issue of another #100,000,000 of the Stock (the "New Stock"),
to double the aggregate issue size to #200,000,000.

The issuer is a finance subsidiary of Grosvenor Limited, which is the UK and
Ireland holding company for the business of Grosvenor Group Holdings Limited.
The group is one of the UK's largest and most prestigious property companies,
and is headed by the Duke of Westminster.

Grosvenor Limited believes that current conditions in the UK bond markets
offer the opportunity to raise long-term debt at attractive rates. The
proceeds will in due course be used to repay existing shorter-term debt and/or
to invest in and develop the group's real estate portfolio.

The New Stock will rank pari passu in point of security with, and will be
consolidated and form a single series with, the Original Stock as from 14
December, 2001 (the "closing date"), being the date of issue of the New Stock.
The Stock is secured by a floating charge over the undertaking and assets of
Grosvenor West End Properties. This company is a subsidiary of Grosvenor
Limited, holding property assets in Mayfair and Belgravia.

The joint lead-managers and joint-bookrunners of the issue are Barclays
Capital and Cazenove.

The issue price of the New Stock is #104.791 per #100 nominal, plus #1.36 per
#100 nominal in respect of interest accrued to the closing date. At that
price, the gross redemption yield on the stock is 6.121 per cent. semi-annual,
being a margin of 1.55 per cent. over that of the 6 per cent. Treasury Stock
2028 at the time of pricing.

The Stock pays interest on 29 March and 29 September each year. The first
payment of interest on the New Stock, due on 29 March 2002, will be #3.25 per
#100 nominal.

Application will be made to the UK Listing Authority and London Stock Exchange
plc to list and trade the stock.

However, there may be no obligation on Barclays Bank PLC or any agent of it to
do this. Such stabilising action, if commenced, may be discontinued at any
