Beyond Nine Elms' New Builds: Who Belongs Here?
Date
Sat 6 Jun 2026
Join Battersea poet and local history expert Hilaire for a fascinating walk around Nine Elms’ side streets, uncovering stories that celebrate the area’s rich history and resilient community.
During the walk you'll hear about the fight to save a cherished children’s farm, now replaced by new developments; tales of a former boozer where locals rubbed shoulders with rock stars; gripping first-hand accounts of World War Two bombings; and the continuing positive impact of grassroots campaigners. The walk is an opportunity to reflect on the stories that shape a community’s identity, and what it means to belong in a place that is constantly evolving.
The walk starts outside Queenstown Road station and will finish outside Battersea Power Station tube station.
