Walk: Streatham Hill Against The Odds

Meet at Streatham Hill Station, Streatham High Road SW2 4SA  

Think you know Streatham Hill? 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 Windrush Generation man, refused a teaching post because he was black, who became a reporter, author and university lecturer; a man who established the first self-service supermarket though everyone said it wouldn’t catch on in England and more. The walk ends on the corner of Telford Ave/Streatham Hill.
