This is my new walk around Vauxhall, getting its first airing on Sunday,
10.45 from outside Vauxhall tube exit 2, opposite the railway station.
Usual discounts for KA members apply, £9 is full price, £7 for KA
members.
There is
something very solid and inspiring going on in Vauxhall.
It is known for its
historic pleasure gardens, for giving its name to a car, for being home to
Jeffrey Archer and MI6, but probably most of all to the many people who drive
through it or see it from the windows of trains, for a fearsome traffic
junction.
Yet in
this unsuspected spot, away from the multi lanes, there are pockets of growth
and imagination that flourish.
The more I researched this walk, the more I got
the sense of overlapping strong communities; individuals and groups who have
created important local projects with little cash and a lot of what the
business community likes to call blue sky thinking. Blue sky, and yet very earthed.
This is a
brand new walk, having its first airing on Sunday at 10.45. We'll meet at exit
2 of Vauxhall tube, opposite the entrance to the mainline station.
