Thanks for the update Officer D...I'm excited about this development. Ian Simpson are quality architects and the developer seems to be really switched on about their target market...looks good.

^I that cross section just look at all the years of skill and knowledge that went into keeping that structure standing using inferior materials! (the steel beams are temporary)

St Martin's have just sent round a "summer 2007" newsletter re Chambers Wharf.

but they are still refusing to supply the press with images and what is out there is so carefully screened to show absolutely nothing. i LOVE public consultations

Sorry to insist but any news of the Seager distillery tower in deptford or somewhere nearby?

[Officer Dibble]

This thing?

The tower seems to be finished, but I know nothing.

[Manuel]

Really???
I've never seen any picture of this tower finished...that's weird...

[Officer Dibble]

Looks like not yet, after more googling... Here's another render:

There is a thread in the Construction forum but it isn't one that gets frequently updated.

A quick picture from the roof of Chez Smoggie showing progress on the Bermondsey Square development, the old Antiques Market buildings can be seen to the left of the photo.

I'm looking forward to this. Hopefully the art house cinema will really take off. Anyone know what that's going to be in the bottom right of that picture ? I thought the square was going to be completely open on that side.

I thought so too but there's cores going up at a rapid rate, so looks like there's going to be 3 buildings surrounding a triangular square if that's not an oxymoron!

I'm certainly looking forward to having an art house cinema just over the road from me!

This render shows that building - looks quite solid...

Jeez, it looks like a old bakelite wireless! I'll be interested to see how it turns out, I'm liking the development so far.

This probably means nothing to most people here, but it's something I'm quite looking forward to.

The development is called "Forest Hill Central" and will feature 70 apartments with roof terraces and balconies, plus retail/commercial at ground level along with some trees -

Basically it's the flat, derelict patch of wasteland opposite Forest Hill train station (south-eastern side), which has been empty and crumbling for years. Given the prominent location I'm amazed the site hasn't been developed sooner. It will go some way to improving what is currently a grotty and completely lifeless area.
