development? After all, we already have one old coal power station
preserved as an art gallery in the form of Tate Modern -- just how many
does London need?


True. It should really be put out of its misery and demolished. I don't think
people are as sentimental about it as the politicians think. At the end of
the day it was just a power station, not a cathedral.

Whats the status of Lots Road these days? Is that still around?
