Great Westminster Property Association event this morning on good growth in Westminster. High turnout despite the drizzle shows the level of interest in the subject

Awesome to see this completed: from business case to opening in 8 years -

Busy day at Arup UK. Hosted TfL acting commissioner Andy Lord this morning. Then #ElizabethLine event this evening with Department for Transport and TfL. All cleaned up afterwards by a robotic vacuum cleaner

Remember when London's Southbank was a car park? I don't but these images are such an inspiration to me - our cities can be more green, healthy and fun to live in if we try! 💪🙌🎇💚
