We’re delighted that @72upperground has been granted planning permission by @lambeth_council. 72 Upper Ground will be a great addition to the #SouthBank’s current cultural offering, bringing new workspace, jobs and investment to one of #London’s most famous destinations.

RIP Richard Rogers. Radical visionary architect, his Lloyds Building allowed the City to look to the future. Pic from the archive of Courtenay Blackmore who led the development for Lloyds.

I will miss Barry enormously - he created a network of developers, designers and passionate Londoners which has been key to this city's pre-eminence and confidence over the last 30 years. RIP my friend. nla.london/news/barry-mckeog…

After spending years behind closed curtains, we are excited to be able to return the Daily Express Building to its former glory and open up its stunning art deco foyer to the general public, as part of our approved plans to redevelop 120 Fleet Street. @HuttonDt @cityoflondon

This art deco building on Fleet Street has been locked away from the public for decades - but soon it'll open, and with a roof garden too 🤯 londonist.com/london/news/fl…

Great to be a compere on this City tour of the latest developments. Front of the top deck but watch out for the trees!
For Routemaster fans: Monday's Sir Peter Hendy City of London Bus tour was in open top bus RML2318 (reg. CUV 318C) which started in the green country service in Oct 1965. It was rebranded in red Central Area livery in March 1978, becoming a private hire vehicle in 2005.
