Foxtons, one of the most visible (and most unpleasant) will be picketed as part of a week of action against estate agents.
Lets stop moaning about housing issues, and begin to act! The sooner we stop the likes of Foxtons from operating in our communities, the sooner an affordable London could be built.
Been ripped off by them, or are just fed up with them driving up house prices in your part of town?
Come along and tell one of the worst of the lot, Foxtons, what you think of them.
Foxtons Islington branch at 355 Upper Street will be picketed from 3pm - 7pm on Monday 3rd March.

Remember, a lot of house building is fuelled by the fact that these days a lot of people want to live alone Garbo-style, at the expense of the environment and everyone else. Try and share your house, if you have one.
