London shopping: keeping it local
comment 2 Written by Vicky Baker on December 2, 2008 – 3:35 pm

Wards Corner is the latest London market to come under threat. The Latin American enclave in Tottenham is the being earmarked for “development”.

Londoners have already lost a large chunk of Spitalfields and Camden´s future has been looking dubious for sometime. And what have we gained in their place? That monstrous shrine to excessive consumerism: the Westfield Centre.

But all hope is not yet lost. Big up to the site that celebrates London´s independent traders: Unchained.com. Good luck to them and their New York branch.

And “suerte” to the Wards Corner community. If you´re in London, show your support at their Christmas party on Dec 5.
