Low buildings which may be replaced by skyscrapers
The low buildings on the right in a U-shape layout are Portal West, a business centre. A planning consultation - held in the hotel from which the photo was taken - proposes two 40-storey apartment blocks and two blocks described as "low", which on enquiry means 10-storey. The buildings behind it are the Woodward Hall student residence for Imperial College, the furthest and tallest 19-storeys. The building on the left was built as a car showroom, then became a call centre for Carphone Warehouse.

Carphone Warehouse and Dixons have announced that they will move their head office further within Park Royal.

Call centre, evening view
This is a call centre at the headquarters of Carphone Warehouse. It was built as a car showroom, see Image Probably never convenient as a car showroom, it is difficult to reach by car although it is beside the main A40 road. Carphone Warehouse next door needed space for a call centre and took it over.
