Centre Point is an iconic skyscraper in one of London's most popular locations, so why was it completely empty for almost a decade? What's happened since, and why is it now relatively empty again? More info about the Centrepoint charity here: https://centrepoint.org.uk Shifty planning agreements, an illegal occupation, and the fact that this building is a private residential block in an unusually central location drew my attention to this one.
