Transport bosses hope their South London expansion will reverse the Boris Bikes’ falling popularity

A CYCLE hire point has been installed outside Battersea Power Station – as transport bosses hope their South London expansion will reverse the Boris Bikes’ falling popularity.
 About 60 new docking stations are expected to be launched across Battersea, Wandsworth and Putney before Christmas. They currently only extend as far south as Kennington and Vauxhall.  However, the extension comes at a time of declining popularity for London mayor Boris Johnson’s flagship transport project. http://www.slp.co.uk/news.cfm?id=38560&headline=Boris%20Push%20bike

InterContinental Hotels Group signs for hotel in SE11

IHG signs for Vauxhall hotel By Bridget O'Connell from Estates Gazette
Listed developer CLS Holdings has signed an agreement with InterContinental Hotels Group at its £80m Spring Court development in Vauxhall, SE11.

The franchise agreement will see a 93-bedroom Staybridge Suites Hotel located on the site. It will be the most central Staybridge Suites hotel in London, following the successful opening of Stratford City last year.

CLS said the 15-year franchise agreement “forms an important part of the £80m mixed-use development”, which will also include 400 high-quality student rooms and is scheduled for completion in September 2014.

CLS executive chairman Sten Mortstedt said: “InterContinental Hotels Group is one of the top hotel companies in the world and its Staybridge Suites brand perfectly meets our aspirations for a hotel in this area. We very much look forward to working together with IHG.”

Houses at the former Lilian Baylis School site are now on sale

This unique development of the former Lillian Baylis School will become a new community of 149 homes ranging from one bedroom flat to four bedroom townhouses. Part conversion of the sixties school promises spectacular loft-style apartments in the original teaching blocks. Within the development here will be new build "courtyard" properties in extensively re-landscaped grounds, 89 of these properties will be for the open market while 26 will be allocated for shared ownership and 34 will be for affordable rent.

The 3.2-acre site borders fabled Lambeth Walk, SE11, Zone 1 and is so close to the Palace of Westminster that it falls within the parliamentary Division Bell area. This so-central inner-city area, is undoubtedly on the up. The school sits in a classic urban setting - amid pre-war and post-war estates as well as a collection of neo-Georgian cottages built in the early 20th century.
