Activists rally against plans to gentrification development near Brixton's heritage sites
Anti-gentrification activists rally outside Brixton town hall

LOCAL campaigners rallied today against the proposed construction of a 20-storey building in the heart of Brixton, south London.
The Hondo Tower office block would loom over the iconic heritage sites of Electric Avenue and Brixton Market.
The protest outside Lambeth town hall was intended to put pressure on the Labour-led council before it votes on Tuesday on whether to grant planning permission.
