There are plans to build a high level virus containment facility and animal testing lab in Camden, alongside St Pancras International, behind the British Library. The lab could be a level 3 facility which means that it could contain deadly pathogens such as anthrax and bird flu. The lab has been criticised by MI5, MPs, councillors, local businesses and residents.

There will be a meeting on Sunday 5th July at 8pm in Inspiral Lounge, 250 Camden High Street, close to Camden Lock beside the bridge to discuss the proposed lab plans. Please bring enough money to buy food or drink as the venue is a cafe / bar.
Despite the lab being criticised by MI5 the lab is backed by Gordon Brown, the MRC, CRUK, UCL and the Wellcome Trust.
The Wellcome Trust has put in 100 million pounds.
Local residents are against the lab on health and safety grounds. Foot and Mouth disease was leaked from government facility Pirbright in Surrey.

The meetings follows an earlier meeting on the same day for residents. If the lab goes ahead it will be built on a Camden Council house estate, Somers Town.
