This week contractor Skanska moved the entire former 12 Bar Club back to its original position in the middle of London’s St Giles development at Tottenham Court Road station after carrying out essential foundations work for Crossrail. The building, which has been preserved as a music venue as part of the Tin Pan Alley revival scheme, is set to open in 2020.

Two time lapses of the move have been shared by site architect Orms - you can view these below.
