Grand Arcade (Barnet)

As of August 2019, plans were being made to demolish the arcade and replace it with multi-storey flats and offices, with new shops on the ground floor. Dave Davies of The Kinks has campaigned for its preservation.[2] In response to a consultation by the London Borough of Barnet, Historic England has suggested that the Arcade be identified as a building of merit.[3]
