Much of the original Victorian tenement stock remain however the social hub, the original Charing Cross, was bulldozed in the 1960s to make way for the M8 motorway. There were plans to redevelop the rest of Charing Cross, which was earmarked as a Comprehensive Development Area with high rise tower blocks and mid rise estates. This never came to fruition to the west of the M8, however the area east of the M8 has seen huge development with many office buildings located in the area. Charing Cross will also be the site of Elphinstone Place, Scotland's tallest building at 130m tall if completed.

- From the Wikipedia page [1] Charing Cross denotes the junction of Strand, Whitehall and Cockspur Street, just south of Trafalgar Square in central London, England. It is named after the now demolished Eleanor cross that stood there, in what was once the hamlet of Charing. The site of the cross is now occupied by an equestrian statue of King Charles I. Since the second half of the 18th century Charing Cross has been seen as the centre of London. It is the primary of the central datum points for measuring distances from London along with the London Stone, Hicks Hall and the doors of St Mary-le-Bow church.
