The Newham Recorder today holds a small notice on page 42 column 3 that the London SnowWorld was put into the hands of the receivers on 21st March 2003.

The company details match those from Companies House. It could be a late April Fool of course, but given the fact that this is a tiny ad in the back of a local paper, that's fairly unlikely.

We're trying to contact the developers to get something from them, especially after recent signs that the development was about to restart, but it doesn't look good.

If it's true then there's always a possibility that Xscape could pick up the development. After all, Capital and Regional Properties (the parent company) already own the adjacent plot. The site is current ready for construction to begin on the actual building, so it's sort of part complete already.

More as we get it.

[Thanks to Jason for his eagle eyes.]
