Alexandra Palace

Historic Ally Pally - birthplace of television - is in danger.

One of London's most significant buildings, Alexandra Park and Palace are a Charitable Trust, managed by Haringey Council as Trustee. The Society has played an active role over many years in campaigning for the protection of the Park and Palace. Council is proposing to sell a 125 years lease of the Palace to a private company, Firoka. There has been a 30-day period, ending at noon on Friday 5 January 2007, during which the public has been able to make representations to the Charity Commission.

Here are our November 2006 and January 2007 letters to the Charity Commission.

There is now an Alexandra Palace campaign website at www.saveallypally.com
