Boarded up and derelict: pictures show lack of progress in bringing London's old City Hall back to life
Briefly

City Hall in London has stood vacant for over three years since Mayor Sadiq Khan moved the Greater London Authority to save costs. Despite receiving planning permission for redevelopment six months ago, little progress has been made, leading to its current boarded-up state. Major internal demolition, including the removal of key features like the spiral staircase, has taken place, but the site remains semi-derelict. Developers have plans for a significant transformation, including new greenery and balconies, but the timeline for these changes remains uncertain amidst mounting dissatisfaction among local assembly members.
