Baltimore wharf scheme on the way at london arena site

The London Arena once hosted concerts from the likes of Pink Floyd and Robbie Williams.

But today, as this picture from Wharf photographer Ben Broomfield shows, the concerts, plays, sport and other events are long gone and the site will have a very different use.

Work started on the mixed-use scheme at Crossharbour after the Arena building was demolished in June 2006.

Ballymore’s development – dubbed Baltimore Wharf – is set to be completed in 2010 and includes housing, offices, hotel, shopping and leisure facilities.
