London Villages: Clapham and Stockwell
14:00 - 17:00 | 22 June 2014
Meeting Point: Clapham Common Bandstand , Near Windmill Drive, SW4 9DE
This gentle 8-mile ride features recent place-making developments: Van Gogh Walk (Winner - Design Excellence - Placemaking awards 2013), Venn Street (Highly Commended, Excellence in Walking & Public Realm, London Transport Awards 2012) and the Edible Bus Stop as well as the brand new 'The Pavement' Clapham Old Town. Buildings include the new Clapham Library, looking like a row of books, by Studio Egret West and the Grade II concrete modernist Stockwell Bus Garage designed by Adie, Button & Partners (1952), plus deep level air raid shelters and the home of Sir Charles Barry.
To book a free place on the ride email charlie@capitalrides.co.uk with LFA Ride in the header and the names of participants in the message. Numbers are limited and you will receive an email letting you know if you have a place. Bikes are not provided so you will need to bring your own. Should you or any of your party need to drop out subsequently please let me know so I can offer the place to another person.

If only more streets could be like Van Gogh Walk we would all be happier. Who was the designer?
ReplyDeleteAn excellent tour (22nd June) with a bit of everything, but particularly enjoyed the gardens and streetscaping elements.
