Wards Corner
The Wards Corner Community Coalition (WCC) is a grassroots organisation working to stop the demolition of the homes, businesses and indoor market above Seven Sisters tube station. Active since 2007 the WCC has been working to empower the community in Seven Sisters to take control of its future and determine how Wards Corner should be developed.
 
The WCC continues to fight for a fairer future and has developed plans for a sustainable, community-led development of the Wards Corner site.

“There is no need to demolish the market. This is a multicultural hub and with a bit of an open mind this could become a touristic attraction,” Pamela Isherwood

The Wards building, a former Edwardian department store, is  currently home to an indoor market on the ground floor with traders from diverse communities including Columbia, Peru, Africa, Iran, the Caribbean and Asian countries. The market is a major destination for London’s large Latin American population (estimated one million) and other visitors from all over London.
