[ Sainsbury's site: public exhibition ]

This weekend there's a chance to find out more about
Sainsbury's plans for their headquarters site in
Stamford Street when they relocate to Holborn later in
the year.

A public exhibition our the proposed redevelopment of
Stamford House and Drury House is being held in
Wakefield House, next to the Mad Hatter on Stamford
Street. 

The site for the proposed Sainsbury's Central
supermarket is the corner of Rennie Street where it
will be part of a new development of the island site
bounded by Blackfriars Road, Upper Ground, Rennie
Street and Stamford Street. 

The existing buildings will be replaced with a complex
which includes a 19-storey office block on the site of
Drury House opposite the Express building.

The exhibition will be open today until 8pm, and on
Saturday between 10am and 4pm. Members of the
development team from Sainsbury's and Stanhope plc will
be on hand to answer questions.

[ A Beach Party ... in SE1 ]

With a good weather forecast for the weekend ahead, why

on the beach in front of the Royal Festival Hall, and
the next gathering is due to take place this Sunday
from 2pm, with low tide at 3.45pm
