Have you ever seen a pig fly? You would have in December 1976 near the Battersea Power Station! We cannot promise flying pigs but what you will see is iconic architecture, outdoor art and work in progress on the largest regeneration project in Europe. This is a place where the past meets the future. Building and un-building of pleasure gardens, railways, industries, embassies and shopping malls reflect the ever changing aspirations of this pocket of London. At the heart of this place are people who create, build, live and work here. Stories of these people will help us understand how spaces we share in common can be inclusive or exclusive, public or private, connected or disconnected.
Pay What You Can for the tour at the end.
