Doesn't look like much and there are far grander streets in the square mile, but St Swithins is special. The building on the left, currently under construction will total 140,000 sq ft net office space and it'll have a sky garden on the roof which is nice but not that unusual. What makes
Here's a novel use for abandoned flats. Make the building watertight... then pour 80,000 litres of copper sulphate solution down the chimney and leave for a couple of weeks. Why? Because it's art, that's why.

The curious thing about this one is that the entire site was to be developed in two phases by St James Homes.

On page 9 of this week's Estates Gazette there's an advert by the London Borough of Havering who is seeking a development partner for its Harold Hill Ambitions project.
My first thought was that this had something to do with the Countryside Properties scheme down the road at Harold Wood hospital. It doesn't.
Harold Hill Ambitions is a 20 year plan to spruce up the area, which includes building new housing stock, 240 units to be precise, on Gooshays Road, which, from the air, looks like this at the moment:
Well over half way and so high it's almost impossible to count the floors.
