Boundary Road Gardens

Arnold Circus
It looks like a Great Western Railway seat has been relocated to Shoreditch. The history books describe the redevelopment of the area as 'slum clearence' and a 'Good Thing'.  It didn't do anything to help the locals, who were priced out of the new housing and moved to other poor quarters.  Sound familar?  Today we call it 'Gentrification' and a 'Bad Thing'. The gardens are maintained by the Friends of Arnold Circus.
