CITY CAMP AT CRYSTAL PALACE
Bromley council plan to 'develop' the site of the historic Crystal
Palace which stood on the highest point in South London until it
burned down in 1936. An understanding existed that if anything was
to be built on the site it would 'reflect the style of the original
Crystal Palace'. However current plans are for 18 multiplex cinemas
and parking for 1000 cars on the roof. A recent public meeting saw
significant sums of money raised to fight proposals and saw huge
support for protestors who have set up a camp on the site.
The camp is next to the radio tower in Crystal Palace Park and is
easily seen for miles around. A circular garden has been designed and
there is a fine communal structure as well as space for tents and
benders and tree houses.
