Campaigners look to Historic England to save Black British site Bridge Park in London

Business and leisure centre in Brent was Europe’s biggest Black-led community project when it opened in 1980s

The future of London’s Bridge Park complex, a prominent location for Britain’s Windrush generation, hangs in the balance as campaigners hope Historic England will save it from councillors’ decision to close it within weeks.

Bridge Park community leisure centre in Stonebridge, north-west London, was Europe’s largest Black-led community enterprise when it opened in the 1980s and is cherished for its part in Black British history.
