Brevan Howard Asset Management

This is the home of what is thought of as Britains biggest hedge fund.  Located in the old headquarters of Marks and Spencer at 55 Baker Street, W1.  This is not a flash office only owned by Brevan fund, rather there are multiple outlets on the ground floor the building looks a stunnig, design.  A quick walk from Baker street in the capitals Westend, not in normal Hedge Belgravia land or over in Canary Warf or in the City.  But I'm sure this is rented and they can move.  If you believe what was written in an addition of the Telegraph a move to Geneva and the area outside of the EU would make economic sense.  If they take over 100 employees with them that will be less taxes paid here and less money spend in shops and less VAT money flowing to the government.  All would be a bit of a shame.  This photograph was taken this lunchtime in a grey overcast light raining London Friday.  If you look carefully at the photograph you can see the otherside of London.  A calling card for  the otherside of the capital. A person named Yuko and her phone number is also there.
