Those Who Bought Glass Houses Shouldn’t Throw Lawsuits: Judge Tosses Out Case Brought By Neighbors Of Tate Modern

“More than half a million visitors a year get lifts up to the 10th floor of the gallery’s £260m extension and breathe in fresh air as they look out to St Paul’s, or the Shard, or the luxury interiors of expensive flats in the Neo Bankside development a little over 34 metres away.” The owners of four of those apartments sued the Tate Modern to try to force the museum to close that side of the viewing platform; in effect, the judge told the plaintiffs, as the former Tate director did 2-1/2 years ago, to buy some damn curtains. – The Guardian
