[LondonCultureseekers] New meetup: Imperial War Museum

 

 

Announcing a new meetup for the London Cultureseekers Group!

 

 

 

What:  Imperial War Museum

 

Where:  Lambeth North Tube Station (outside the station)

 

When:  Sunday 3rd January at 1:30pm

 

Come along on Sunday 3rd January for a visit to the newly refurbished Imperial War Museum!

About the museum The museum reopened on in 2014 after a £25m refurbishment, which includes new WW1 galleries telling the story of the war.  The reopening coincided with the 100 year anniversary of the outbreak of WW1 on 28th July 2014.

The museum has occupied the former Bethlem Royal Hospital site since 1936. It holds over 11 million items relating to wars fought in by Britain and the Commonwealth over the last 100 years. The museum also has seperate exhibitions on the holocaust, a family in war, the secret war (about spies & codebreaking) and paintings of war.

 

 

There is a lot to see in the museum, so expect to spend at least two hours looking around.  We will divide into small groups when you arrive, to go round the museum together.

Entry is free!

 

Afterwards we will head to the Three Stags pub, 67-69 Kennington Road for a chat over a drink.

 

 

If you can't see us outside the station, please text.  Please note we only wait for 10 minutes at the meeting point after the advertised meeting time.

Look out for the group sign -

 

 

Hope to see you there!

Three days left to have your say on the Oval Gas-Holders development

Hi there,

You kindly asked to keep in touch in our previous survey in April, or on the www.saveoval.com website.

[For context, I'm part of SaveOval - a local residents' group who want to see development of the Gas-holders site without the high-rise mistakes of Nine Elms...

We've summarised our views, and an alternative scheme, here: http://www.saveoval.com/]

As you probably know, Berkeley Homes published their Masterplan last month - http://www.oakda.co.uk/master-plan - and the consultation period ends this Wednesday 16th December.

It's vital that we send a clear message to Berkeley Homes & Lambeth on local people's views, before the deadline.

What you can do to help right now:

1. Please complete our 5-minute "SaveOval" survey here:  https://oval.typeform.com/to/TwRw63

This will allow us to send a clear message on locals' views of the central issues.

2. Please also complete Berkeley's survey - it's quite long (sigh), but if you're short of time please at least answer questions 8 and 9 about the tall building heights:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/G7M6TW2

3. Please forward this email to others in your building, your neighbours, your Residents' association, or your local school, etc., to encourage them to take part in the surveys - and if you use Facebook or Twitter, please share on Facebook, or retweet us at @SaveOval. 

Thanks so much for your help, and if you'd like to be involved further, please do get in touch.

In the meantime, best wishes for the festive season.

Yours,

Harry & the SaveOval team
