Borough Market ...
Rather amazingly there’s a scheme afoot (in fact rather advanced) to destroy forever the character of one of London’s oldest markets, Borough Market at Bankside.
Twenty three of the historic buildings in this area are due to be demolished for what seems to be a senseless scheme which has a viable alternative.
For more information and to sign the petition head over to Save the Borough Market Area Campaign.
Hat tip to Londonist and Noel Lynch at The Green Room for publicising this.

And the area around Borough Market has been used in so many films too - even Bridget Jones used the Globe as a pub and Mission Impossible used the Anchor. There's a lot of old and recent history in that area.
