Its scaffolding and metal stairs the outside is covered with a netting I believe that has been sown with grass seed and a few saplings , it looks dreadful cost 6 million to erect at the end of the day , yes your right being removed now its going to be dismantled which will not be cheap either

Perhaps if they just left it nobody would notice  :grin:
From what I recall of the pictures of it at least you won't get pikeys camping on it which most other bits of public free space stand a chance of having

Six million.. !!! The mind boggles..
  They can sell the dirt off to tourist at 20/40 pound a bag..
And the con artist will be selling it for thousands to the Americans.. Japanese market..
  'Psst!..  Do you want to buy part of Oxford Street.. West End' !!!  Nod nod, wink wink..
