Greenwich Novotel hotel to have exterior cladding replaced
The Novotel hotel in Greenwich by the railway station have plans to replace elements of their facade.

And now, after merely a few years they plan to replace it.

*drum roll*
The white terracotta was the winner after discussions with Greenwich’s Conservation Officer. The correct decision I feel.
As a private renter with a young family, the cost of living is extremely high. Please support me and the site via Paypal here which allows me to focus time on researching and writing posts alongside taking photographs to document changes. Adverts are far from enough to cover living costs.
