Tues 3rd March: Jon Newman - Vanishing Act: The Smaller Rivers of South London

Join local historian and author Jon Newman as he talks about the underground rivers of South London. The Effra, the Peck, the Heathwall and the Falcon Brook now all run in underground sewers, but their presence has shaped the suburban development of the area and played a defining role in the history of South London. Even now, when supposedly safely out of sight, they continue to impact the lives of people living south of the Thames. Don't miss what is sure to be a fascinating evening about the hidden history of our local area.

Location: Dulwich Books, 6 Croxted Road, West Dulwich, SE21 8SW

Time: 19.00 ? 20.30

Price: ?5 (Admission) / ?10 (Admission + a copy of The Heathwall)

  A quick Google found this, amongst other things: "Social impact models are frameworks or approaches that guide how organizations or initiatives address social or environmental problems."

  "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck" comes to mind Unfortunately, a large number of cyclists do exhibit selfish amd anti social behaviour which, regardless of how many good cyclists there are, is seen as the norm. It's a bit like one car driver jumping a red light and all car drivers getting tarred by the same brush. Perception is the issue and if cyclists all obeyed the rules, everyone would be less anti them but unfortunately that isn't the case 🤔

  Saying cyclists are the most antisocial people in London isn't helpful. Nor is the Standard referring to cyclists as lycra clad louts Yes we can have an adult conversation. But emotive knee jerk nonsense is not going to achieve this and just plays into the hands of those wanting a manufactured culture war
