One Blackfriars property development marketing suite hoarding landscape, symbolising increasing private ownership of London's public urban space. Increasingly, the UK capital is becoming privatised tracts of land where consortium corporates have developed large areas where the public either cannot access or where strict codes and security and even dress codes have been introduced. Foreign money has come from China and the Middle-East meaning that London is now largely owned by foreign companies. Ownership of flats and apartments then attracts non-domicile occupiers, turning these estates into ghost towns.
