This is great news and a genuine improvement to the plans' phasing: originally, they intended to work down from the station/Boots end of the shopping centre and finish with the hipster food and culture corner. Starting with it sounds much better, especially given there's nothing there at the moment!

Inauspicious start for new weekly London Standard at the Elephant & Castle with no copies at 5pm on launch day. Distribution bin outside Bakerloo stn already graffitied and full of City AM. Nothing at all at the Northern line station.
