UK - London - Derelict retail property before redevelopment

Abandoned and derelict premises at the rear of a former garden centre business, due soon for redevelopment. On the ground are the words "Sous les paves, la plage" - in the French language. This roughly translates as 'under the pavement, the beach', a clue to the land's former use as a garden and plant centre followed by a pop-up artists' studio. The property is now vacant, awaiting development for a future library, apartments and small supermarket. Blue panelled fencing borders the premises and faded yellow breeze blocks separate weeds.
