About this Event

Think you know Streatham Hill? Come on this 2-hour walk and discover streets that hide histories of ordinary people who have done extraordinary things. A self-taught photographer who became England’s first female press photographer; a drain layer who built

workers’ community housing; a young Windrush Generation man, refused a teaching post because he was black, who became a reporter, author and senior university lecturer.


People’s actions, faced with enormous obstacles, have made a difference to the history of Streatham Hill as well as influence beyond. Hear how one man established the first self-service

supermarket though everyone said it wouldn’t catch on in England; an architect who chanced upon a commission and changed the face of modernism; and a writer who overcame his sense of dislocation to become a Nobel Prize winner.


A lot of the buildings have been demolished but the stories still exist. Discover Streatham Hill Against the Odds.
