Hilton Bankside

Has anyone heard anything about progress on this site? It appears that work has near-stopped and I don't think it's moved on in the last 6-8 weeks...

Hilton confirmed the new hotel this week alongside its announcement that the Hampton by Hilton in Waterloo will open in 2013:

Thanks James.

It appears from Estates Gazette that the site is now up for sale with the Hilton management contract. I was told a few weeks ago that construction is unlikely to re-start for some months. Would think that means a 2012 opening is increasingly less likely...

According to The Times on Monday one of the feuding partners (Shiraz Boghani) is buying it back.

Does anyone know the status of this massive construction site?

I met someone from Better Bankside in July who said the dispute between the two owners was resolved and that construction would start after the Olympics. There also was a consultation for an amendment in the permit in July that the Southwark Council website says is now approved. But the building site is still idle and no work seems to be going on.... we've had this massive whole in the ground for two years...

thanks to mods for merging with the right thread.

So any news on when this hotel will finally start active construction?

I was told by someone at Southwark Council that it is due to re-start this coming week...

Thanks Gary... will keep an eye out.
