The cramped confines of Londons busiest shopping street is not the easiest place to try and demolish a jumble of interconnected buildings, as Emma Crates discovered

The demolition of an eight-storey office block next to Hounslow bus garage in west London appeared to go out of control yesterday afternoon when a huge section came crashing down, leaving the remaining structure unsafe.

Demolition is about to start on the first of Battersea Power Station’s four chimneys, ahead of its reconstruction.

Further details of the death of a construction worker in London’s Grosvenor Square this week have been revealed by his employer.

The decommissioning programme at Sellafield nuclear power station this week saw its 100th building demolished since work began in 2007.
