The Anonymous Widower

Another Space To Be Filled

This Google Map shows the City of London North of Moorgate station.

Note the crossroads, where South Place goes East from the A501, which has LEON and Boots on the West side and Barclays Bank on the East.

The South-East corner of the crossroads has been redeveloped and now it the time for the North-West corner to be redeveloped.

The pictures show that the site has been cleared.

  • At appears that the site will be a development called 20 Ropemaker Street.
  • It will be up to 27 stories high.
  • It will be 457,000 square feet of offices.
  • There will be retail premises along Finsbury Pavement opposite Gap and Marks & Spencer.
  • The building will be the new London headquarters for Linklakers LLP.

There are also hints on the Internet, that the main entrance will be opposite the entrance for Moorgate station, with all its connections to the following.

Circle Line

  • Crossrail
  • Hammersmith  & City  Line
  • Metropolitan Line
  • Northern Line
  • Northern City Line

It looks to me that the developers are taking advantage of the transport developments.

‘World-First’ As Bunhill 2 Launches Using Tube Heat To Warm 1,350 Homes

The title of this post is the same as that of this article on the Islington Gazette.

This is the introductory paragraph.

A new energy centre using heat from Northern Line Tube tunnels can now provide warmth and hot water to 1,350 Islington homes.

These are some of my pictures of the centre.

If you want to go and see the Bunhill 2 Centre, walk down City Road from the Angel.
