ring road? unless it is a three-ring circus, I think it won't be coming soon. Even though I deplore needless sprawl, we need something to access North/West London (i.e., where most of the current and future growth is); something other than Unwonderful Road, Hyde Parkinglot Road, unFunshawe, etc.
So I hear that there might be another big box development, coming to NorthEast London (anchored by a StuporStore). The dumbcentre in NW London is showing signs of struggle. Most of the Northern part was not completed (Ghost parking lots/signs/foundations, etc.). The Southern portion has seen an exodus of stores, most recently, Winners. I reckon that there must be around 10-12 empty pads. Not to mention, the still unfilled strip plaza at the corner of Hydeparkinglot Road and Fanshawe (good sushi place there, though).
