Are you sure with those new office blocks in the middle?

Are there? That's a shame. The last time I was in there was in 2007, when it was the fire assembly point for Yahoo Europe and we had a false alarm

[eek]

I reckon a big Roman catapult in St Giles churchyard could manage it.

One would hope that they throw the sofa in while the windows are out, rather than straight through the brand-new double glazing

One would hope they'll have double glazing windows with a free sofa thrown in!

Hope its being totally refurbished. The last time I visited it it was absolutely freezing with drafts from most of the poorly fitting window frame...

What's £50m to the global elite? Small change looking for a safe haven of UK property. UK property is fully backed by the UK tax payer.

A cheap safe haven for arms/drugs dealers and friends of central bankers/despots....

"The controversial UK skyscraper that will become new home of the super-wealthy


London landmark Centre Point, which stood vacant for a decade, is set to become the latest home for the world's super-wealthy after property group Almacantar unveiled plans to build apartments worth up to £50m at the site.

The distinctive 385ft tall building in Oxford Street was one of the capital’s first skyscrapers when it was completed in 1966 but has a chequered history.

Now Almacantar is helping meet soaring demand for super-prime city centre homes by building 82 apartments in the 33-storey tower, comprising of 16 one-bedroom, 37 two-bedroom, 26 three-bedroom, two four-bedroom and one five-bedroom flats.

Prices have not been released for the homes but The Telegraph understands that Almacantar will be looking to sell the five-bedroom apartment for up to £50m. One-bedroom apartments nearby are currently on sale for more than £1m, while a three-bedroom property is listed for £2m.

An additional 13 affordable homes at Centre Point will be made up of eight one-bedroom, three three-bedroom and two four-bedroom properties, including a car park in the basement.
