It is now expected to be used for residential development.

Maybe they'll bring in an architect who normally does conversions of

other thin vertical things like lighthouses? Although of course there

will be a lack of light through most of the property.

I wonder how much of the sub surface station it includes if any? Can't see

much use for it for residential purposes and I can't underground space like

that going to waste. Perhaps it'll be hived off into 2 sales - above ground

and below ground?

The above-ground part will have to be several residences, because even
at London prices £53m for the site is a bit much for a single residence.

The below-ground parts could be used for various things like swimming
pools, private cinemas and so on. There was a story in the papers about
a year ago about the rend for people to enlarge their houses by digging
down, anything up to four levels, so there's clearly some demand for
sub-surface space.

Anyone here know if the site has any other access than the front?
