Nine Elms Cold Store, Brunswick House, Wandsworth Rd, Nine Elms, Lambeth, 1989 Built in 1964 on a site where the South Metropolitan Gas Works had closed in 1956 to hold around 2 million cubic feet of frozen food, with a 90ft jetty for barges on the Thames, rail across the road and large lorries. Closed in 1979 it stood largely empty for around 20 years before demolition. Replaced from 2003 by the rather less attractive St George Wharf development of expenisve flats with the 590 ft St Georges Tower, clearly in many respects a planning error.
