Land Securities - Preliminary Results 2010

LONDON, May 19, 2010 - Land Securities reported a 16.5 per cent increase in net asset value per
share following a sharp recovery in the second half of the year.

Speaking to financial broadcaster Cantos, CEO Francis Salway said its
Retail portfolio had out-performed the IPD index, although London offices
underperformed the market.

"Our London offices did under-perform slightly but that was very much
down to our pre-development sites. It's those development sites which are the
source of future out-performance as rental values come back."

Salway said Land Securities has an unrivalled pipeline of potential
projects in London and believes property values will grow over the next five
years.
