London's Foundry Gallery To Be Replaced By A Hotel
"[T]he Foundry, an east London gallery and pub that for more than a decade has served as a focal point for the area's alternative art scene, is set to be demolished after the site's owners drew up plans for an 18-storey hotel and retail complex." But "a wall painted with one of the biggest Banksy murals in Britain" will be preserved. The Guardian (UK) 02/04/10
