On January 31, 2015, an estimated 5,000 people braved the rain and the cold to march on City Hall, on the 'March for Homes,' to tell London's Mayor, Boris Johnson, that drastic action is needed on housing; specifically, controls on the private rental market, protection for social housing, and, ideally, a massive, not-for-profit, social homebuilding programme. This photo is of residents from Cressingham Gardens Estate in Tulse Hill, a 1960s estate overlooking Brockwell park, which Lambeth Council wants to hand over to developers to demolish, rebuild and gentrify rather than repairing it; in the process, of course, pricing existing tenants out of the neighbourhood, and probably the borough.
Saturday's marchers came from the Elephant & Castle in south east London and Shoreditch in east London, and I was both surprised and impressed that so many people had refused to let the atrocious weather put them off. The protest had real passion and energy, which to be honest, was unsurprising given the extent of the housing crisis in London, with mortgages unaffordable for ordinary working people, rents spiralling out of control, unscrupulous landlords unfettered by any kind of legislation to protect tenants, and developers making more and more unaffordable new properties for a marketplace swimming with foreign investors, vying with rich Britons to fleece ordinary workers and to drive the unfortunately unemployed out of London altogether.
