Expert structural engineers, Lambert Smith Hampton, advised in 2010 that the Pope’s Road multi-storey car park in Brixton be demolished because it was unsafe and beyond repair. This followed a number of tests including a panel abseil survey of the structure. DDS Demolition commenced works in December 2010 and it is anticipated that the car park will be fully demolished by the end of March 2011.
