Barratt Homes Development At St George's Circus

A construction hoarding showing the future skyscraper being built by housing developer Barratt at Blackfriars Circus at the southern end of Blackfriars Bridge Road, south London borough of Southwark. The merging of the future and the present make for a confusing landscape with a dark sky in the distance. In the foreground is the image of the obelisk that occupies the junction, was built in 1771. Local opposition groups object to this new landmark, one of many futuristic buildings going up to dominate the south London landscape. Typically, property in these developments are owned by foreign non-residents.
