Crystal Palace Camp info (London)
ANYONE FOR CAMPING?
People fighting plans to build a multiplex cinema on the site of the Crystal Palace, in South London, failed this week in their High Court battle to halt the scheme. Developers want to build a massive 1,000 foot long steel and glassbuilding on the highest point in London with 18 cinemas, 9 bar/restaurants and various retail outlets, and parking space for 950 cars on the roof ! 12 acres of the park and 150 trees will disapear under the building which has been likened to an 'airport terminal'. This has stirred up a hornets net of protest and a camp has been set up in the Grade II Listed Park for the past couple of months which could face evicition at any time.
