Jaguar Land Rover opens the doors today of its first U.K. 'Statement Site' in South West London. The second site of its kind globally, this marks an exciting moment for franchise partner Guy Salmon and Jaguar Land Rover.

In its 70 years of trading, 'Jaguar Land Rover Thames Ditton', has evolved and expanded. Now, this multi-million dollar site in Sunbury-upon-Thames is where the company will reside as Guy Salmon South West London, in its new, purpose built, state-of-the-art facility.

The new Statement Site sits on the border of Surrey and Greater London offering a convenient location inside the M25, near to well-known landmarks such as Hampton Court Palace, Twickenham Stadium and only a few kilometres from London Heathrow.

After two years of construction, the new site stands five floors high and spreads over a substantial 17,000sqm footprint with over 400 parking spaces. Previously Guy Salmon South West London employed 145 staff across its sites, but the construction and opening of its new premises has created many more job opportunities in the area.

Inside the new showroom, the customer experience is unlike any other in the U.K., housing the complete portfolio of Jaguar's and Land Rover's vehicles, products and services. The showroom accommodates over 130 new and used vehicles, a display of Classic Jaguars and Land Rovers, a Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) centre with a bespoke commissioning suite and exclusive 'SVO' lounge. Throughout, family lounges, quiet zones and cafes with WiFi cater for all customers' needs ensuring that Guy Salmon Jaguar Land Rover provides a real destination for new and returning customers.

The centrepiece to the design-led property is a living wall that stands at 60sqm, giving customers a glimpse of Jaguar Land Rover's commitment to its 'Destination Zero' strategy for a cleaner, safer and sustainable future.

The building has been designed and built to create an ultra-efficient environment. Excellent insulation, wastewater recycling and extensive EV charging points are key features.

Guy Salmon South West London is home to world-class workshop facilities. Located on the second floor is a Bodyshop, 26 ramps, two dedicated MOT test lanes and a cosmetic repair area. State-of-the-art technology, such as the fully automated four-wheel alignment system, and prestigious service reception add even greater levels of quality and care as a fully covered, three-lane drive-in reception area provides customers with a valet-style service for quick and convenient delivery or collection of their vehicle for service.
