Rejected petition Revoke Westminster Council’s decision to allow the demolition of M&S Oxford St

Westminster Council has granted permission for the 1930s building occupied by M&S next to Selfridges to be demolished and replaced with a modern glass and steel building.

Demolition of this beautiful and historical Art Deco building would be nothing short of criminal.

More details

Because this building is of historical importance and Oxford Street doesn’t need to start looking like Canary Wharf. Not to mention the impact of a glass and steel building right next to Selfridges, it would look totally out of place.
