Somers Town: what future? programme
Join us for a 3-day event of talks, walks, films and family activities next week. Somers Town: What future? features in this year’s London Festival of Architecture.
Is Somers Town at a turning point? With HS2, CrossRail 2, the Housing bill, and the decision over the CIP plans imminent – with the possibility of luxury blocks encroaching on our parks – what happens to ‘community’ and the future of social housing?

- Post your photos of Somers Town here – all will be added to the exhibition of ‘Somers Town Now’ photos
You are invited to take part – and it is FREE!
