Arranged according to building type, they include such well-known landmarks as the extension to Tate Modern, the Shard and the redeveloped London Bridge station, as well as diverse social, cultural, healthcare and education projects, from the refurbishment of King's Reach Tower (now the South Bank Tower) to the new cancer centre at Guy's and St Thomas's hospital and the transformation of Burgess Park. The renowned architecture writer and critic Kenneth Powell continues the story of one of Britain's most dynamic and successful areas of regeneration. While this architectural and urban renaissance – which began in the 1980s – is evident most publicly along the south bank of the Thames, it extends through the borough, from Walworth to Peckham and from Bermondsey to Dulwich. Its impact can be seen in the creation of cultural venues, the revival of industrial spaces for residential and commercial use and shared working, and the generation of a wealth of stunning new – and already iconic – projects.
