Save The Astoria!

Love this direct portrait of a protester on Charing Cross Road.

This week I've concentrated on the cultural scene around London, something the city is famous for and proud of. This guy is protesting against the closure of the Astoria Theatre, a famous venue right by Centre Point. it's seen many famous bands play over the years and now they want to turn it into offices and shops.

Many London music venues are in danger of being closed, because of their financial inviability. it really would be a pity to see so many go, the city really doesn't need more shops or offices thank you very much.
