Talk will include music venues (including Montague Arms), the radicals of the Hatcham Liberal Club and more, probably take about an hour. My New Cross book should be available in local bookshops from next week but you can pick up a copy at the weekend (300 pages+ for £15) (2/2)

It was wonderful to be invited to cut the ribbon at the opening of Acorns Nursery at St James Hatcham CE School. It is such an important moment to celebrate the start of this new chapter, where the school is able to provide the foundations for a great future to local children from the age of two.1/2

Fantastic to join pupils at Haberdashers’ Hatcham Primary School for a Be Internet Legends assembly with @parentzone.org.uk and Google teaching children about media literacy and ways to stay safer online.
Loved seeing the kids so engaged in this accessible and fun session.

Lewisham leads in #schoolstreets across London. I joined the newest bike bus to report for @salamandernews.org and find out how parents, caregivers, and schools, are utilising this opportunity. And where they see room for even more improvements.
