"St Pancras and King’s Cross led the way, showing homebuyers how the areas around London’s major train terminals could be transformed. Now the Shard, the awesome skyscraper built on the forecourt of London Bridge station, is set to entice buyers to an area that is in for a staggering £6 billion makeover. [Hammerson's £4.5-billion at Brent Cross? Pah! Chicken-feed!]
"Much-anticipated new Crossrail stations at Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon and Liverpool Street are bringing the first-ever 'over-site' developments — homes and offices which are built above or alongside stations. [Apart from many other examples from the last hundred years.]
"Dalston Junction, a new station on the East London Overground line, which incorporates 500 flats, a library, shops, cafés and public square, has become a new town centre and one of the capital’s trendiest spots."
