Hertford Street

Not a view I have seen before. Let's hope the new buildings are an improvement on what has just been demolished - which should not be difficult.

Goodness what changes! I can't quite grasp how big they are or how long it will take to complete, a couple of years maybe? I must say those blocks look overwhelmingly high. Have they demolished City Arcade as well?

Yes, the City Arcade is now gone. I think that almost everything they're planning to demolish is now also gone, except perhaps the Litten Tree Building (old Rover showroom, Intershop, etc.). Pulling that down will have to be done very carefully as it butts up to the Reform Club.
