KEW BRIDGE ECO VILLAGE (6-6-09 to ###)
KEWBRIDGE RD X KEW ROAD, LONDON TW9 ... in process
[written mid 2010]

I visited this site only once, near the beginning of its development. There are many interesting pictures on the web that witness its elaboration. One website http://london.indymedia.org/articles/1609 is especially valuable for its description [1] and informative pictures of social and work activities during the initial phase of forming the site for use (unusually, its pictures can be adequately enlarged !).
