"Monstrous" Cancer Research building with jacuzzi, swimming pool and gyn sold.

There is outrage in Camden as a £30 million building described locally as "monstrous" and hosting a jacuzzi, gym and swimming pool and currently used by Cancer Research UK has been sold. Camden council have given planning permission for the ambassadorial building to be converted into a home that campaigners say "will never be used". Is this how CRUK spend money?

Surely questions should be asked as to how this luxury building with 50 rooms used by CRUK staff is appropriate for a charity "dedicated to saving lives"?
When people donate money to charity is this how they expect it to be spent? The luxury pile is in Cambridge Terrace, Regents Park, Camden.

perhaps CRUK agree with you about it being an unsuitable buliding and that is why they are selling it. I imagine it would have been a donation originally. CRUK are moving into new leased offices in a development at the Angel end of Pentonville Road. why waste your tiem trying to smear these people? oh wait anlmal research? well talk about this then not some make believe shit
