Housing advocates gather for mock ceremony of ‘worst’ London landlords

London ACORN members gathered at Victoria Park for a “Slumlord of the Year” award ceremony. The event is aimed at highlighting some of what advocates are calling “the worst landlords in the city. What we are really after is to protect our quality of life,” said Jordan Smith with ACORN London. “And our standard of living.” Many tenants said they are experiencing unsafe housing, pest infestations, leaks, mold and crumbling infrastructure.
