Commuting to 'Chelsea Harbour' for a couple of days this week. What a vacuous cultural desert, a moribund gated 'community' (Thatcher's kind) with private roads and a private army and piss-poor footways and fuckall allowances for cycling, no parks, no street presence, anti-architectural wasted oppurtunity. Like a middle finger to all the millenia of urban planning and culture of city-building. Seriously, if this is what Thatcherism and the meritocratic International free market amounts to, it's laughable.
