UK - London - Paddington Central Development Facade

I finally got round to visiting the Paddington Basin redevelopment (finished in 2003) only to find the canal basin had been emptied whilst they carried out the next phase. I was also disappointed to find Thomas Heatherwicks Rolling Bridge removed and further research (okay so I Googled it) has not revealed its whereabouts.

 

I did get to walk around the unfinished 'Paddington Central' complex where I found some interesting buildings under various stages of construction (not that this photo is of a particularly interesting building). I've pencilled in a return visit on a sunny day. I believe the next scheduled one of them is in June 2010.
