This is nonsense. Loads of public money will be leveraged by the developers to sell their flats at inflated rates. it'll be another subsidy to a private development of 'luxury' investment properties. Taxpayers (some from Camberwell and Peckham) will be paying for this subsidy.

@James Barber - do you know whether Thameslink trains are going to be terminating at Blackfriars again after the works finish (in 2018?), or will through running trains continue to run from Denmark Hill / Peckham?

That is really disappointing and hasn't been at all well communicated (first I've heard - thanks for highlighting).
