Sad news... hoepfully it's not just some insurance job and they'll restore it.

You know, I find this suspicious. The one area that the council has been trying to knock down for 20 years to put up large super markets and newer shops/malls is now in flames and the fire fighters can't fight it.

It does sound a bit fishy. The only way they can get that fishy smell out of that situation is to rebuild it back to what is is meant to be. We'll see.

That's what I truly hope. Camden Town is probably one of my most favorite places on earth. Every time we go back to England we go there. I recommend it to everyone I know who travels to London. I can say with all honesty that if I could live there I would in a heartbeat. It's my kind of place and I just love it. To see it change into something commercial and soulless would break my heart

Sounds fishy to me as well. Here's hoping they'll rebuild it in the style it was before it burned. I'd love to see it when I finally travel to England, but not if it turns out to be a Tesco's or something

"Sitting on a bar stool in the middle of the road..." I love this quote. It gives a new face to the "man ont the street" interview!

Site is within spitting distance of an Asda/Morrisons and a Sainsbury's

So Tesco or Waitrose might have an interest ..
