London Residents Overlooked By Tate Modern Extension Suing Gallery For Breach Of Human Rights

Five applicants claim their high-rise homes have been turned into “goldfish bowls” while they have become “public exhibits” after an extension to the gallery’s turbine hall saw an observation deck installed overlooking luxury apartments in the Neo Bankside development. The High Court writ reportedly claims that the Tate could “easily stop this invasion of the claimants’ privacy and home life” using a cordon to restrict access to the south side of the lookout area.
