Bloomsbury and Covent Garden are threatened by this monstrous hulk of a building - a design wholly motivated by greed. It will cause to harm both of the conservation areas and countless listed buildings. ⬇️

Some english city councils have facilitated a boom in city centre property development, financialisation and speculation. They have been handmaidens to global investors with signifucant wealth extraction. Ironic that those councils are themselves financially struggling.

Great news - London land values are finally going down!
“At current prices 64% of London offices would sell for less than they were bought for”. This could free up sites for housing - except many are locked with Mayoral support for speculative offices, 5m sqft in Waterloo alone
Demolition beckons for the fine, modernist French Railways House on Piccadilly (1960-62).
Designed by Shaw & Lloyd with signage by Ernő Goldfinger and interiors by Charlotte Perriand, this could so easily have been upgraded for modern office use. Wasteful and wholly unnecessary.
Breaking news // Sad news for these important but woefully underappreciated buildings - and a huge waste of carbon at a time when we need to save all the carbon we can. Surely there’s another approach ♻️ 👇
📢Congratulations to the whole team for securing a judicial review into this damaging proposal for London's South Bank which would harm the setting of some of Britain's most important cultural institutions 🧑⚖️
Save Museum Street supported by Griff, the Vic Soc and other heritage groups campaigned against a 74m tower that will overlook the British Museum, Hawksmoor’s famous St George’s Church, that will be visible from Bedford Square, and parts of Westminster.
