The power of poetry: Sydenham Arts explores women’s safety.

The event aims to help local communities address public sexual harassment through artistic self-expression.

The workshop, held at Ignition Brewery, in Sydenham, marked just over a year of the StreetSmArt project and is one of a host of activities and campaigns taking place across ELL boroughs to signal the period of activism.

I've found St.Antholin's on Robert Barker's Panorama of 1790/1. My followers know the spire was relocated to a garden in and is still there, it was beautifully restored recently. heritageoflondon.org/projects/ Watch this video tour of the panorama here. youtu.be/Vp37mN__XZw

in 1936, the Crystal Palace at Sydenham was destroyed in a devastating fire. All that remained was 1 of Brunel's 284 ft water towers, but that was removed in WWII as it was considered a marker for German bombers. Postcard from the Grenville Collins Postcard Collection.

With “Cobbs Quarter” - “modern living meets historic charm” @AcornGroup opening in the near future I wonder if these large & well located units (opposite the flats / 3 mins walk from station) will be filled after 6 years (or so) of emptiness…. Here’s hoping!

Looks like the G&G is under offer so I'll guess we'll be finding out who and what they plan at some point next year.

Light up the Palace! We have power... to train again at night!

Many thanks to GLA and @MayorofLondon to get the new temporary lighting installed. (... after the old stadium lights were deemed unsafe a year ago).

An old classic from 1927. The ‘bobbies’ in the picture were the CP private police force.

Good news if you are looking for an EV charging point in Lewisham - not so good news if you live in Greenwich.
