Borough Market

I was absolutely horrified when I received an e-mail from a friend the other day that alerted me to the fact that Borough Market is under threat. This beautiful old market, which was established on the south bank of the Thames when the Romans build the first London Bridge, resembles the absolute heart and soul of the London I love. People have been trading there for over 2000 years. It is one of those places that you never grow tired of visiting. If, however, the current development plans for London Bridge station are carried out, this current beautiful old undercover food market will become history. Plans aim to demolish 23 of the beautiful listed and unlisted buildings in the closely surrounding area. Planning permission has already been given but developers are currently waiting for funding. During the lull that has ensued, a strong local campaign to put a stop to the development plans has developed. If you, like I, love Borough Market in its present state, then please sign the petition to stop the demolition of the old Borough Market. The plans, photographs and the petition can be viewed on: http://www.sabmac.co.uk/ or you can go directly to the site where you can sign the petition by clicking on this link www.petitiononline.com/sabmac2/petition.html
