Interesting, I didn't know he was in an anti-road-building campaign. Do you have a reference? I can't seem to find anything about it by searching.

I always remind my self when I go down park lane that the land was stolen from Hyde park and was a model for future development.
It's awful to cycle down for a start.
Glad it mostly failed. London could have ended up like hell that is LA
