Shardettes/Three Houses/Three Spires [major London Bridge development by Sellar & Herzog & de Meuron]

Previewed at the Bermondsey Street Area Partnership's
Party tonight, the "Three Houses" development will provoke plenty of healthy debate, so I thought that SE1 would be the ideal starting point for discussion.

The Sellar project is for the development of 3 large towers(the largest an 80-storey version, about the same as the nearby Shard) around the St.Thomas Street/Bermondsey Street junction. My precis of ancillary details : New school, Lido in Leathermarket Gardens; key worker and mostly family accomodation proposed.

Will be in the press soon...all comments welcome

Light fuse and retire...

Lido in Leathermarket Gardens

That's me out of here, then!

80 storeys?! In the present economic climate? Madness.

Anywhere we can find out more information about the proposals?

Wot's a key worker? someone who works for Chubb?

Teachers, nurses, social workers, officers of the law, prison service personnel, army service individuals, therapists, etc.

Thank you Tolstoy, I was always puzzled by the definition..:-) would that be essential staff on a very low income?

Your welcome. Those people we rely upon to ensure stability and growth of the individual within a framework of empathy and understanding for the common good via guidelines enshrined in the principles of democracy, so yes... on a low income.

School, lido? What about a Waitrose?
