Take Back the City is a campaign to put the majority, the marginalised and the disillusioned back in the driving seat of decision-making in London. We promote the interests of Londoners from all backgrounds and postcodes, on both sides of the river and either end of the Central line. From out-of-control landlords to community centre closures, we are all living the effects of inequality and the imbalance of power in London.
