<p>About 200 housing, anti-gentrification and Occupy campaigners disrupted the beginning of the annual Property Awards on Tuesday evening in London.</p>
<p>Nervous guests arrived in designer clothing and were forced to use side and back entrances as protesters blocked off the main doors to the Park Lane Hotel.</p>

<p><strong>Less mainstream media attention for this action but well worth a look in our judgement &#8211; some very nice pictures and, of course, more evidence of the direct action movement on social housing which is spreading like wildfire across London. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Lancaster West residents would do well to sit up and take notice because we are on the list. We&#8217;ve known this for several years already. Now is the time for action before it becomes too late to make a difference.</strong></p>
