Approximately 80 people; stakeholders, staff, residents and board members joined forces in St Anne’s community hall to discuss the pros and cons of living right in the red hot centre of London. We debated the joy of being part of the original 15 minute city alongside the difficulties of noise pollution and lack of green space. Everyone agreed , however difficult it is , we need to find a way to develop more affordable homes  and so we continue looking forward to the next fifty years of Soho Housing delivery.
