If you go down the fashionable end of Oxford Street today you'll be struck by two things. One is that the Christmas lights are now up, despite the fact that we're still on BST (apparently Sainsburys in High Holborn have been selling Christmas decorations for the last month, thanks Tony) the other is that there's a great big gap on the south side where 467-471 Oxford Street used to be.
This is LandSec's Park House development, lots of office (230,000+ sq ft), lots of retail (nearly 120,000 sq ft) and just a smattering of resi (36 units). All this is set to kick off (or should we say re-start) next year. In the interim, however, the developers still intend to generate some income from the plot. This week LandSec was granted permission for "large entertainment uses" on the site, one of these uses will be an ice rink, how very Christmassy.
