What is being built here (Kensington)

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 https://goo.gl/maps/ZqBxURMUk79Hw8M67 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Kensington_Gardens |

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

Someone would need to pay me, to live there :-) More a matter of safely banking ill-gotten gains. It would be handy to have somewhere to stop over for the odd visit, though. |
