Ah, the Candy brothers’ famous On Hyde Park white elephant.
Been covered a few times before on here –
Telegraph: One Hyde Park: The most expensive ghost town in the world?
Mail: Two sold (to the developers)… Just 84 to go! Truth about the most hyped luxury flats in the world
This grotesque development is a shinign example of the greed and avarice of our tax-dodging 1%ers, whom the Labour and Condem administrations seem to be so deeply in love with.

you can see why some tokyo property dropped 90-99%
seems unbelieveable,but a flat at 16-30 million could drop 90% and still be pricey…sorry lunatically priced.
you can also see how tulips from amsterdam madness happened…all semmed so normal at the time

Aren’t the same Candy Twins are responsible for the now empty blocks of flats at the former Chelsea Barracks? I pass there often and imagine what a decent, well organised and responsible group of occupy protestors and/or squatters could do with it. Bloody waste of what could be socially useful affordable housing. Prince Charles has his mits in the mess as well I believe. There are two of these blocks 5 minutes walk from Victoria Station. Opposite a Peabody or Guiness Trust estate. Ironically.
Central London became a rich man’s plaything rather than somewhere real people can live.
