Central St Giles

The new multi-colour Renzo Piano development taking shape on St Giles High Street, behind Centre Point:

"A development that brings heart and soul into a forgotten part of Central London's urban fabric." 

The website, here, is "a tool for all of you living and working in the area, and aims to consistently and clearly communicate the construction of Central Saint Giles to those interested in the revitalisation of an historic London village". Well hey!

Frankly, anything's an improvement on the dreary post-war office block that was here before.

    Yes it’s good – I like “inculcate latent paradigms” – but it misses out on the alliteration: “consistently and clearly communicate the construction…”

    Any chance you would agree to let me use your picture of Central St Giles in an annual report?

    I’d like to use the image also as part of some PR I am working on. Would this be OK?
