Blake is one of the most important and influential artists, philosophers, thinkers in history. I'm actually shocked that this is even being considered!

William Blake is one of England's greatest Prophets. His prophecies are perhaps even more relevant to our times than they were of his day as his visions unfold before our very eyes. We should not allow the greed of a few destroy what little we have remaining of one of the most profoundly important figures in the history of humankind.

William Blake was a great visionary soul who foresaw the damaging effects that social media could/would have and warned against it. This is only becoming apparent to us now. His work is even more important than Shakespeare and needs to be preserved and studied because what he was explaining to us is becoming more and more relevant to us in the situation we now find ourselves in. He is one of England's greatest people and it is vital that we preserve his last abode and turn it into a museum.

William Blake is one of the greatest geniuses in England. Misunderstood in his life time, let's do him justice in our lifetime.

William Blake is the single most important personality for England and its spirituality. One aspect of his visionary capability was that he predicted the effect of the media on the world and significantly became a printmaker. In the future, people will come to understand more about the relevance of this personality for England and how he suffered for the sake of his spiritual understanding. His spiritual legacy has far reaching effects for England who must preserve everything to do with him.

William Blake is an integral part of the history of the UK. Having his place of birth restored within his own country of birth is unquestionable. Where we have so many places to commemorate known figures of our history, a space for William Blake would show how we respect and remember important figures of our nation.

Blake loved this country and wanted to help us get to know and understand ourselves from an enlightened perspective. His visionary writings and images are deep, complex and powerful. We need a space where we can be immersed in his work, have it explained to us by experts and attempt to experience what he saw as our birthright to be balanced, dynamic beautiful human beings. A dedicated centre is needed to research and experience his work fully and without limitation.

William Blake is as important to the UK as Shakespeare. His work depicting a higher truth is extraordinary.

William Blake is an incredibly important and unique artist and visionary. Its essential that we secure his London home as a piece of heritage for the UK.

Number of buildings in London dedicated to one of England's greatest poets and painters: 0. Number of luxury flats in London: c327,000. (Many of which are empty) Now which do we need most?

William Blake is one of the most important English poets, artists and mystics - he should have a permanent home in his last London home.
