Exploring social anchors around Walworth
Guided walking tour exploring social anchors around Elephant and Castle and Walworth that have fostered belonging in a changing neighborhood.
Wednesday 17th June
18:00 - 20:00
Free
This guided walking tour through the Walworth area will explore the everyday spaces that hold the communities together, and the organisations and networks that are vital to local life. We will walk around key social infrastructure anchors, discussing their histories and role in fostering belonging in an area undergoing transformation.
The tour offers a chance to see neighbourhood change through a different lens, celebrating community relationships that outlast the buildings. We will return to discuss Social Life’s work around belonging and neighbourhood change.
A visual pamphlet signposting local activities and organisations will be distributed post-event.

We have carried out an accessibility assessment of the walking route to ensure it provides step-free access, wide paths, and resting spots. The walking tour itself is wheelchair accessible and accessible toilet facilities are available at our office. The route is 1.3 miles or 2 kilometers and will take just over a half an hour to walk. We will stop at 4 locations for a break and to have a discussion. The total walk is expected to take 1 hour and 10 minutes.
The final discussion and presentation will take place in our office space, which is not wheelchair accessible due to no step-free access. The final discussion will be listed as optional so that those unable to access the space are not excluded from the tour itself.
We will provide details of the route and distance ahead of the event and we will have multiple guides to accommodate different speeds and needs.
