I remember coming to live in London not long after the Covent Garden Fruit market moved out to Docklands and Covent Garden itself briefly became a gloriously eclectic and vibrant market.

They swore that development would preserve the character of the area.....

Camden Lock is now going the same way.

The toxic combination of exclusive private property in the Commons, and deficit Money, destroys everything worth preserving.
