A community group restored an eyesore bus kiosk into an art space - only for the local council to rip it down without warning.
Art collective Kabinett spent around a month clearing out the dirty bus shelter in Camberwell, south London, which was constantly used as a rubbish tip.
They decorated it and began hosting art performances for the local community.
Videos later emerged of council workers tearing the structure from the ground - with Kabinett claming no one warned it was going to happen.
Camille Moreno, a member of the Kabinett team, says though some of her colleagues were "heartbroken" by the kiosk's removal, it had brought more attention to their projects, including a newly refurbished bus kiosk in Crystal Palace in southeast London.
