The William Blake Fellowship is campaigning to save the poet and painter William Blake's historic flat in Mayfair from development into luxury flats. The Fellowship aims to transform the space into a cultural hub, reflecting Blake's legacy. They have approached the London Assembly and Mayor Sadiq Khan for support, and have submitted an application for funding. Property developer Grosvenor Group, which intends to turn the area into a significant destination, remains open to discussing the Fellowship's proposals. The initiative seeks to follow successful European examples of preserving historic homes as cultural sites.
