I've been a customer at Bonnington Cafe for since 1987. I've attended many events there and it has supported many artist friends with employment. It is a unique, alternative, radical way of working and of feeding Londoners. Do not destroy this gem, The Bonny Bonnington is about what makes London special. Long may she reign!

A true diamond in the rough! To close it would be to scrape off anything interesting and unique for locals, and replace it with more of the same old same old! Let this remain, and continue to be a place for aspiring art and talent!

Shocking. Yet a mother example of gentrification. For 7 years, I hosted a community lunch for people in recovery. It was perfect and allowed an opportunity for people to engage and give back. We we were always given a warm welcome and great healthy food.

Venues like Bonnington Cafe are vital for the thriving community spirit of London and should be cherished and protected not closed.

I attended a wonderful charity event at the Bonnington Cafe, organised by Victoria Conran. There was a real sense of community endeavour and achievement to the whole evening.

I have had many memorable and enjoyable evenings here and would be so sad that f it closed. Or offers our community a unique, affordable night out.

No please don’t. It’s part of the community hub as well as the charm.

I celebrated my birthday here on a very memorable evening with lots of friends a couple of years ago. This venue is delightfully unique. Don't close!

The café and the centre make an important contribution to the life of many diverse communities – for the residents, visitors and workers who relax and share food together

The Bonnington and places like it need protection in a city seemingly intent on eroding its historical and cultural sites of interest unless they can be monetised. Please act to preserve this spot in a rapidly changing and profit-driven part of London.

Save the cafe! It's a great place, with a history, and I can't think of anywhere else in London to match it.

We love the cafe. It’s an institution. It makes our area special. I am so proud to live in a neighbourhood in London that has a genuine sense of community and the cafe is a cornerstone of that.
