In the years before Internet, people sent details of their demos and events to listing magzines! City Limits was one of those! Founded in 1981 by former staff members of the weekly London listings magazine Time Out after a dispute. These listings are now very informative🤓

Southwark have been busy destroying local neighbourhoods for decades Here from 1973 local people criticising the luxury developments of The Thames riverfront industry buildings Our arguments today - The Elephant, Old Kent Rd - exactly the same! 🎠🎠🎠

@ShapeCoalition1 Rotherhithe was sold out by @SouthwarkLabour to developers @BritishLandPLC @CWmasterplan social cleansing at its best! 3% affordable housing up to 9%. No local people were considered just investment companies around the world. Masterplan has failed now all involved are running

The reliable Southwark Notes did a great piece on the OLD KENT RD and everything threatened by over development there! So many commercial workshops, fabricators, studios and so on! A vital part of London's economy! southwarknotes.wordpress.com/2020/08/12/mon…

Jonathan Nunn's brilliant piece on the Old Kent Rd, migration, food, a sense of the local and threats from gentrification remains unbeaten as a piece of pointed writing: london.eater.com/2020/6/15/2129…
