Regret what? The jobs have been moving out of central cities at a

elsewhere.

Which of course is one reason why we need projects like this, to boost
city centres and sustainable employment patterns - working in the
suburbs will be car-based, with all the congestion/pollution/carbon
emissions problems associated. And note that we're talking about
Britain here, where there hasn't been the same flight to the suburbs
as in North America.

Indeed, the number of jobs in London Docklands has been rocketing, and I
don't think there's a long-term trend for them to fall elsewhere in
central London (though there may be some property 'voids' in the short
term).
