A “secret” row of mid-Victorian brick railway arches sealed off from the public for more than a 150 years are to be the centrepiece of a new £2.5 billion office, homes, hotel and cultural development on the South Bank.
New images of the 5.5 acre Bankside Yards scheme, one of the biggest currently underway in central London, released on Wednesday show how the 14 arches will be used to house shops, restaurants and performance spaces to create what the developers describe as “a new village high street.”
