I moved to Surbiton 6 years ago, almost to the day, and by and large have enjoyed living here. I work in Central London and regularly travel back to Surbiton in the evening and late at night.

Now, is it just me, or is it getting worse, last night i arrived back at the station at about 10.30pm, my journey home was more like Soho on a Friday night than Surbiton on a Tuesday night, it went like this:

There was a large boarded up area next to some unfortunate houses on the west side of the river for a long time. And now something seems to be rising up out of it. Does anybody know what it is?

I would be sad if this view ends up ruined by more houses.
