The proposed development of these disused public underground
toilets on this historic green have been the subject of much outrage among residents and local traders.
The Council have scrapped plans
due to public pressure despite planning interest from 19 companies.

The Green has been visited by generations of political dissenters from the Wat Tyler to Lenin. In 1842, the Prime Minister Robert Peel banned public meetings from taking place here. In 1890, the world's 1st ever May Day march left from here.The Green was described by poet Sir John
Betjeman as "a remarkable haven of peace amid the roar of public transport and heavy lorries".

Chris writes: "Brought back memories seeing this -I once rode over it very worriedly as an eleven year old or so, having just slammed my pubescent wedding tackle into the handlebar stem on my bicycle while riding on Barnes Common. I was pretty certain I was going to find various bit’s of my anatomy cut off before their prime! Happy to say everything was intact! – Well at least as intact as before :=))"
