Comments on: Will The Truman Brewery Become Homes Or Offices? https://spitalfieldslife.com/2025/07/22/will-the-truman-brewery-become-homes-or-offices/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 24 Jul 2025 13:53:37 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Cherub https://spitalfieldslife.com/2025/07/22/will-the-truman-brewery-become-homes-or-offices/#comment-1760637 Thu, 24 Jul 2025 13:53:37 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=203921#comment-1760637 Why does it always have to be luxury flats? What about some provision for hard working locals on low incomes who need an affordable roof over their heads?

But I fear that Spitalfields has already become a place where you have to be wealthy in order to purchase a residential property. If you wanted to purchase a home in Fournier Street or any other street in the area, you would need very deep pockets indeed, running to millions of pounds. And sadly the era of social housing has passed, mainly because of misguided political dogma.

But the fact that existing war gaps also have their charm and can be preserved is shown in Kassel by the ‘Backstube Biergarten’, which is a cosy place that no architect in the world could have created!
You don’t have to fill EVERYTHING with concrete — a city must be able to breathe!
