Preserving William Blake’s last remaining home in London is vital. It is an irreplaceable part of William Blake’s enlightened contribution to England’s cultural and spiritual heritage. He was a man ahead of his times whose work is very much relevant to us today. The loss of this site would be tragic.

It's not an exaggeration to say that William Blake's work not only brings joy to heighten my best days, but has helped me to live through the sorrows of my worst. I know that I am not alone in this. His last remaining residence in London should be there as both a legacy for our collective future, and a beacon of inspiration for people of today who live, work and pass through the city, helping us all to appreciate his life and work more deeply, so we can live like Blake, 'in Eternity's Sunrise'.

Blake is foundational to British culture and literature - he is a public person who should be cherished as a core part of British heritage that belongs to everyone.

As the last remaining property of this incredibly inspirational British writer and artist, William Blake deserves the same, if not more respect given to other cultural icons such as Dickens and Handel who have buildings in their names. Blake's visionary influence is far-reaching across the world and he should be honoured accordingly. 'Jerusalem' is our unofficial National Anthem and yet all of his homes have been or are being destroyed...how can that be justified??

It is a cultural heritage. William Blake is as valuable to the world as Mozart. His legacy should be preserved and honoured. Luxury apartments do not serve a society. As an international heritage center it serves far more people - worldwide.

William Blake invented his own printing press to ensure no alterations would be made to his writing. As he was a great prophetic artist, it would be wonderful to preserve William Blake's last residence as a museum to his spiritual legacy.

This is the home of one of England's internationally most inspiring and influential artists and writers. His words and prints are not his only legacy, his phyical presence should be celebrated in his last place of residence. So his home too should be preserved as a place of pilgrimage.
