Going to an exhibition at the NLA helped in seeing what new projects are happening in the city centre itself and also how new facades of buildings are being revitalised to provide a modern city for the 21st century and beyond.

The exhibition runs between the 17th July – 25th August and looks mainly at the £1.5 billion regeneration of Elephant and Castle is an ambitious urban redevelopment programme transforming one of London's oldest and most infamous areas.




Currently best known for its high rise estates, labyrinth subways, busy roads and red shopping centre, Southwark Council's £1.5 billion, 170-acre programme promises a massive new pedestrianised town centre, market square, green spaces and thousands of new homes and jobs.
