Save Southbank

Laying underneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall the area in London's Southbank, known as Undercroft, has served as London's premier skating spot for almost 40 years. However, commercial development is now threatening to make it a thing of the past.

The Undercroft has been bringing young people from various backgrounds together for over 35 years but now it's planned to turn the area into shops and restaurants - Just like the rest of London.



Skaters have put together a documentary on the architectural history of the space, it's cultural legacy, and the value of the area as it exists now. You can check it out here.

If you'd like to help keep the space alive you can sign this petition, set up on the Government's website, here. In order to sign the petition you must be a British citizen.
