I commuted into Victoria on the train for many, many years and watched the development slowly happen. Watching them remove the chimneys brick by brick was pretty impressive, and then watch them be rebuilt exactly the same was crazy. Every day I used to look and wonder how many millions it cost to do something that will go completely unnoticed in the long run.
For 35+ years of my life it was always just a crumbling shell. I moved out of London, then one day happened to get a train past it and all four chimneys were gone. It was a most odd thing to not see something that had always been there.
