I read with interest your story (News Shopper, November 14) concerning the maritime mural at the site of the old Greenwich Hospital.
As everyone knows the Greenwich District Hospital moved to its brand new site earlier this year.
But it seems a shame that such a large building now joins the Millennium Dome on the "not in use" register.
Either, or even both of them, could be put to such good use over the Christmas period when temperatures plummet, and thousands of people across London are still living on the streets.
It seems for most of the year the Dome lays idle.
But on New Year's Eve it becomes a club, which probably makes very little money for what is a very costly site.
Giving homeless people a warm refuge would bring the hospital back into good use and the Dome into good use for the first time.
