London, UK. 14th April 2018. A tour of London's wealthiest areas, led by the Land Justice Network begins in Brown Hart Gardens, Mayfair. It demonstrates land ownership in Britain is one of the most unequal in the world, both in rural areas and in cities. The tour began in Westminster, largely owned by the Duke of Westminster, stopping at relevant points on the Grosvenor Estate, Park Lane, in Hyde Park, Grosvenor Crescent and Belgrave Square for information and speeches, ending on the 93 acres of the Cadogan Estate, the wealthiest part of Kensington & Chelsea for a final rally. Unequal ownership of land is the basis of the class system and the aggregation of wealth and inequality that have led to our present crisis levels of homelessness and evnironmental degredation. Largely beginning with the Norman conquest, the battles over land have continued over the centuries, with the enclosure of common land and the current redevelopment of public land, particularly council estates, as private housing for the wealthy.
