New warehouse in Alliance Road, North Acton
A large site running from here along Kendal Road has been redeveloped with warehouse buildings. The former buildings housed the BBC Outside Broadcast depot. When these were demolished the hardcore was left on site - see
Image - and used in the foundations of the new buildings.
