Barbican Quarter Action is the new campaign group set up to protect the Barbican Estate and its vicinity, including Golden Lane, St Paul’s, Smithfield, Farringdon and Clerkenwell from inappropriate and ill-considered development by the City of London both now and in the future.
The current campaign is focused on the plans for Bastion House and the Museum of London site: Barbican Quarter Action is asking the City of London to rethink, reset and stop this unacceptable development.
To learn more and to find out how to join the campaign please visit the website www.londonstartshere.co.uk which was launched today.
Barbican is a site of national historic importance. I am shocked this set of extraordinary buildings are not listed and disappointed by the continued lack of respect given to Britain’s cultural heritage. Any decisions to deface or destroy Barbican is an act of cultural vandalism.
