Hammersmith Palais to become student accommodation!
From the Evening Standard........The Hammersmith Palais is likely to be knocked down and replaced with a students' hall of residence.Hammersmith and Fulham council is considering proposals for the venue, which closed in 2007. A decision is expected in November.Developer London & Regional has permission to replace it with offices and restaurants, but is understood to be looking for a more recession-proof plan. The plans comprise a building that is divided into five and 10 storeys fronting Shepherd's Bush Road, with shops and more than 2,800 square metres of leisure space, according to a planning statement. There will be some 429 student studios, singles and doubles. London & Regional would not comment.A spokeswoman for the council said it could not discuss the plans before the meeting in November.
