ready to insulate
The interior of London Road is now ready to receive the internal insulation that will ensure the property is so energy efficient.

Work on the remaining 4 properties has begun. This is 6 Victoria

it as two houses.

Looking up to the balcony in the sun space of 91 London Road. The
