Some changes in London I've noticed recently, that I'd like to see more.
Homes being built where shops / old libraries (replaced) used to be. Especially round me.
I'm all for it. It gives it that Amsterdam feel where homes and business dove tail. I'm 5 min walk from three major supermarkets.
It's not for everyone, those places tend to be first time buyer flats - but it's much better than a property where a business shuts down every 6 months.
The mix appears to sustain the successful ones.
