Just in case you didn't understand the comment on the previous pic - the brick building in that one is now on the left and we're looking north across Southwark St. towards the Bankside 4 development - now re-branded and marketed as "Neo-Bankside", a luxury housing development (designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour) with apartments selling at £1m - £6.5m.
When Tate Modern (see its tower is peeping behind the street sign on the right) opened in the year 2000 the land on which this development stands was mainly run-down commercial and industrial buildings dating from the C19 and the building on the extreme right (the Blue Fin Building) was still a 1950s office block housing the Ministry of Transport. Over the succeeding 13 years, thanks primarily to the impact of Tate Modern and the Jubilee line extension which runs nearby, the area has been transformed - but not without cost.
When planning permission was first granted for this development in 2007 the developer agreed to provide over 8,000 sq.m of affordable housing "off-site" (ie. in other parts of Southwark) and 34 affordable "shared equity" units within the development itself. Construction began in Jan. 2009 months after the Lehman Bros collapse and the takeover of HBOS (the funding bank for the development) by Lloyds. However development and marketing of the site has continued throughout the subsequent recession and the development is now in its final stages. Block E (under construction on the left) is the final phase of the development.
However in late 2011 the developer returned to Southwark Council and the GLA with a proposal to vary the terms of the original planning permission. He requested that the requirement for 34 affordable housing units on site be dropped because it was unlikely that they could make them affordable by any sensible definition of the term. Southwark Council agreed to this, with the proviso that the developer offered funding for at least the equivelent number of units to be provided off site. The sum final agreed for this was £9m, which the local authority hopes will fund the provision of 44 housing units. But up to now the developer himself has only managed to find sites to build half the amount of off site affordable housing required in the original planning permission. In addition the developer sought and was granted permission to change the use of Block E from residential to office use.
It's not surprising that local community groups now wonder if it will ever be possible for local residents doing ordinary jobs (or having no jobs at all) to afford to live in these areas in future.

Hoardings along Rodney St announce Phase 1 of the regeneration of the Heygate Estate in Southwark - re-branded as Trafalgar Place by its developers Lend Lease.
An international company of Australian origin Lend Lease developed the athletes villages for both the Sydney (2000) and the London (2012) Olympics. Their approach to the redevelopment of the Heygate Estate has not been without controversy - see:

Haringey Council's Labour group was pretty much split 29-19 in repeated votes at its Annual General Meeting last night.
But after a long-overdue revolt from within the Koberite ranks, the critical and independent-minded Cllr Joe Ejiofor was elected by 25 votes to 22 as Deputy Leader.
You should have seen the faces, when this mishap occurred!
Haringey Council has spearheaded social cleansing plans to demolish thousands of really-affordable homes, and price local residents out of the area, via deals with developers sealed at the MIPIM event at Cannes in the South of France.
Rebels, rise up -
Say No to social cleansing!

Hay's Galleria is the building in the centre of the shot. Originally known as Hay's Wharf it was where tea and other dry food goods were imported into London and stored in its warehouses.
In the 1980s the dock was filled in and a glazed roof built above it. In 1987 it re-opened as a shopping mall with offices in the converted warehouses.
The ship moored on the river is HMS Belfast which is open to the public as part of the Imperial War Museum.
