One Hyde Park: a monument to inequality | Alexander Chancellor | Comment is free | The Guardian
At a grand reception this week to celebrate the opening of the world's most expensive block of flats in Knightsbridge, overlooking Hyde Park, the man in charge of the development on behalf of the Candy brothers said: "We are very fortunate to have secured the planning consent for the development pre-credit crunch." What did Richard Williams mean by that? Did he mean that Westminster council couldn't have been seen to condone such a monument to immense wealth at a time of general hardship and belt-tightening? Did he mean that the council, or maybe the banks, couldn't have supported a project that might have been doomed to fail because of the economic downturn?
