i was in london last week and stayed in a hotel 2 minutes away from The Tower. Canon street and Eastcheap are full with offices (with few pubs).

One of the most significant effects of the pandemic is the decrease in demand after office space and increase in distance work. These will probably be lasting effects. Maybe it's better to take care of the already existing buildings or expand the parks. Make the city more resilient against flooding.
