Basically there aren't enough core anarchists remaining in London to keep them viable. My instinct is the Social Centre model and Occupy may have been more pertinent in a pre-austerity era but now we should be thinking about building the anarchist milieu. The most obvious and possibly most intractable is what Aragorn! recently raised about how it can be such a vicious, emotional minefield that can have everyone dogpiling on some hapless fucker.

A couple of the venues listed caused a raised eyebrow.
# Can you really call the Feminist Library 'radical'? It's open to conservative and marxist feminists, never mind radfem/terfs.
# Decentre is deserted manky old room within the Freedom building.
# DIY Space For London is now little more than a music venue with the rest of the week being a dead zone. Even with it's survival plan it may not survive.
Positives.
#56A has done a good job at making itself relevant to the local community.
# The bookshop section of Freedom looks finally after 30 or 40 years looking like an interesting bookshop.
# LARC to supposed to be active most evenings but deserted during the day.
