"Currently, the PRC has six sites in London (chancery, commercial, education, culture, consular, and science and technology sections). Bringing those together on one site requires considerable space, but probably less than the total area currently occupied by their six buildings."
The total area of the seven properties (including the embassy itself) is approximately 0.46 ha. The new site has an area of approximately 2.7 ha. So it's comfortably over five times larger.
