Since then as a result of a madness/ planning restrictions and the lack of inspired thinking by successive governments / owners and developers the site has remained entirely neglected. Only London can do so little with such a centrally located [...]

What will make Vauxhall A Lovelier Place? It could be argued that a great deal of development has got through planning without a proper or engaged debate about the needs of the existing communities around the Vauxhall Nine Elms development area (VNEB). The VNEB development is 195 hectares- a colossal area- larger than Hyde Park [...]

The winning design has been announced in the architectural competition for the new US embassy to be built at Nine Elms. It’s a dramatic and eye catching design which should be a vast improvement on the current scattering of anonymous warehouses. There is a long and well illustrated description on the site of the winning [...]
