STOP the SUICIDE of our Great City of LONDON.
Without our PAST we have NO FUTURE ! London is becoming a
comglomerate of UGLY OFFICE BLOCKS. Yes modernise but NOT SUICIDE!

It has long been a sad fact that such a large-scale property development raises cash for masses of people with various interests in the project. The tangled web-like network of beneficiaries illustrates firstly how difficult it is to stop something like this once plans are announced, and secondly but perhaps the more serious, how little say we have in our planning system.

How I agree with Rachael that buildings should be recycled whenever possible in the same way that we are encouraged to recycle everything else, perhaps we should all lobby our MPs about this as it is a very valid point. We, after all, are almost threatened if we do not recycle enough, so surely this should apply to developers as well.

Lovely pictures and a pleasure to see the interiors. It’s a disgrace that such important buildings are left empty to decay by owners who place no value in them.

It’s obviously not enough for companies like British Land to act like the profit-driven behemoths they are. Now they also feel the need to have ‘values’.

”Shouldn’t bringing unused buildings back to life be expected in the same way that recycling a tin can is expected?”
Wow, this is such an important statement. Thank you Rachael.
Luckily we have the Spitalfields Trust and other organisations in this area working to keep our historical buildings.
I’m a local resident and we need as much help as possible to fight corporate greed.

Beautiful photos and yes the interiors deserve to be renovated rather than destroyed. Their industrial nature gently reminds us that these buildings were there long before we were. And may, it continue to interest those in the future as well as us now.

Norton Folgate – there is a point where too many office buildings in London is thenew slums. There is no need. Build them in Canary Wharf or outside central London. London doesn’t need anymore commuters working in offices. Build them in Plymouth, barking, Bromley, basildon. East Ham, Stratford. Monolith offices have no place in the street scene in Spitalfields
