Events

We are holding three walking tours around the area. You can sign up for one of these events by following the link to our Ticket Tailor site. These events will be a chance for people to find out about the changes Lambeth Council have made to the Kennington Oval area as part of the ReImagined scheme. Officers will guide attendees on a walk of the area to understand the impact these changes have had on their daily movements and consider how the changes can be improved upon when made permanent.
