Speaking of Cannon Street, does anyone know exactly what the point of
the current refurbishment is? The ticket office area was refurbished
only a few years ago, and it seems pretty stupid to have shut down the
M&S and all the other retail units when the station was working
perfectly well as it was (nowhere near as crowded or cramped as London
Bridge and Charing Cross).

The project incorporates not just the redevelopment of the NR/LUL
station, but also the creation of a new building which will replace the
existing monstrosity (i.e. the tower on top of the station). This
planning document should give you all the info you need -http://tinyurl.com/2qm86h


The existing 1960's office block on top of Cannon Street was
constructed so badly that I understand there is at least one floor
that is permanently out of use because it is warped somehow.
