The City of London Corporation's planning and transportation committee has approved a new £250m hotel on the banks on the River Thames.
The redevelopment of No 2 Puddle Dock and Mermaid house will see
the demolition of the existing brutalist building, to be replaced by a
seven-storey hotel. '
As this planning permission has gone ahead, we the undersigned wish for the new building to house a small theatre, to be called The Mermaid as a reminder for the millions of people have used it either as a performer or in an audience. We believe that London still needs some smaller venues for concerts of a more informal/intimate nature.

We hit a real turning point today and the developers cannot ignore this level of public interest anymore. Go to their website to find their official contact page and tell them we demand a theatre space in the new plans. Copy that same message into an email to your local representative before the week ends.

NO MORE HOTELS. We have enough already.
please let this happen. its the least they can do after tearing down a landmark.
Used to go here all the time. Such a shame to see it go. Keep the name alive at least.
my first ever play was here. so many memories. keep the art alive dont just replace it with carpet and room service.
London is losing all its culture to these boring hotels. save the theatre space before it hits the bin.

Small venues are the heart of this city. Leave a space for local talent to play.
