What is being built here (Kensington)
 

I came across this on Google Map - looks like a building is going to be
slid into position. Any ideas:

Meant to say - use Street View

Aah - It is One Kensington Gardens. I see different dates depending which
way I browse Street View.

Something odd about your link keeping streetview stuck in 2012 for that
area.

If you search for "De Vere Gardens" then use the streetview history
feature, you can see the old building there in 2008/9, then your
building site in 2012/2014 and the new building from 2015 onwards

What that shows are stacked modular portakabins housing
on-site offices changing rooms and canteens adjacent to what
looks like a deep excavation, and where there was no room
on site at ground level.

They were probably assembled in one or two days direct off of
the backs of lorries and will take the same time to remove.

Looks to me like a large block of temporary huts, that won't fit on the
actual site. Thus the 'corridor'.

Many thanks - it looked a bit good to be work cabins - but it is London!

Six million for a two bed!
Thirty million for an apartment(flat) !!

All that money to live in London.
Some people have more money than sense.

More a matter of safely banking ill-gotten gains. It would be handy to
have somewhere to stop over for the odd visit, though.

I'd do it for thirty million :)

Actually it occurs to me if this required me to spend the rest of my
life in London - I wouldn't!
