Saturday's Guardian carried news that it's all-systems-go for Knightsbridge's latest icon to excess. Bowater House is going, to be replaced by a development of 86 apartments overlooking Hyde Park. The developers are a consortium including the Bank of Scotland, the architect will be Lord Rogers and the project will be managed, and the interiors designed, by Candy & Candy. The talk is of higher than high end, with price tags reaching £20 million.
