Are you sure? I've just spent some time looking through documents related
to the proposed rebuilding, and there's no mention of the Stables. How are
they related to the plan?

That's what I meant about lumping together different plans. *The
Stables is under threat, but not from the station rebuilding.

Okay, got you. So why is the Stables under threat? Is it just general
redevelopment?

Had to dredge back in my memory, but it was definitely a news item a
few months ago, and then I found thishttp://www.savecamdenstablesmarket.co.uk/
and thishttp://www.camden.gov.uk/ccm/content/press/2006/october-2006/camden-c....

Oh, i see. They're redeveloping it - in the sense of expanding it,
cleaning it up, adding better access, and putting a roof on it, not the
sense of turning it into a supermarket. Not what i'd call 'under threat'.
But maybe the current plan is only what it is because of the public
outcry.

Cheers for the info.

Certainly the new stories a few months back sounded pretty
devastating, but that may have been spin by the protesters competing
with spin by the developers.

I can see that the plans might effectively result in an indoor
shopping centre on the layout of the former market.

You don't have to go to Camden to visit an indoor shopping centre
(maybe I could have stopped after the first seven words of that
sentence).
