Once used as a warehouse for Northern bitters to quench Victorian London's insatiable thirst for beer - each pillar is said to stand two ale barrels apart - this muscular 19th century vision will be complimented with a 21st century sleekness: shops, bars, restaurants, a farmers' market and the longest champagne bar in Europe...
