These ones on Castle Lane in Westminster are all empty too. The developers apparently had approval from Westminster Council to renovate them but haven't yet - I think because they are designated as much-needed social housing but they're going to try to sit on the land till the value has increased even more then sell them.
Totally backward way to view buildings . Maybe (possibly) not even the councils fault. Hackney sold off so many places to cover holes in budgets. I lived in broadway market in middle of 2000’s and they sold off so many shops and buildings round there at the time, they’d obviously never own again.
