Eloise Solari, Associate Regional Sales Director at Ballymore, concluded: “We are proud that we were able to support Isabel in her ambitions to create a fairer and more sustainable fashion industry – championing independent brands and giving them a platform to promote their unique collections. “The pop-up served as a testament to the diverse range of lifestyle brands attracted to Embassy Gardens, reaffirming our commitment to developing a new cultural hub and vibrant neighbourhood in Nine Elms.”
An aerial Associated Press photograph taken in October 1930 of the new British Embassy—five months after Lutyens’s final site visit and its first occupancy—captures the complex in its still-unfinished state. The areas for the pool and tennis court are excavated but not built, the terrace rose beds are barren, a construction road leads from W Street, and small trees are planted here and there in turf with bald spots.
