UCL Rent Strike
Camden Community Radio’s Mary Holditch reports from inside the recent rent strike held across UCL halls. It was a protest against student rents being higher than the minimum student loan can cover. It grew into a media story that was reported on worldwide and forced UCL management to talk to the strikers.
Mary is a student at SOAS living in one of the halls that was striking. She reports from inside the strike itself (often inside the kitchen in fact!) to bring you the students’ voices first hand.

Royal Café Closed by Network Rail Rent Hike
The Royal Café has been serving up food and drink to locals and tourists in Camden for twenty-four years. It’s a part of the community. It was started by Ayse and her husband in 1993 and they’ve run it ever since. But now they’re having to shut up shop because Network Rail, who owns the property, has increased their rent by 100%.
