Welllll, there's a story....
because the developers (Chinese state-owned) have failed to fulfill the Cultural Legacy side of the deal - which is why I was there filming/archiving the place before it got demolished - Wandsworth Council's man in the planning dept., who thinks there's more to life than luxury flats, has withdrawn the re-development deal for the whole project, thereby swizzing the developers out of £600m. He's a hero, though it's a shame for anyone looking forward to a grandstand view of the junction of the South Circular and Garrett Lane, and the lovely new TK Maxx.
