PLAY SWAP: Summer sessions - meet at 3.45pm every Thursday at Pembroke House

Street Game Collection: PART 1

Street games collected from local residents, clients of Pembroke House and the stallholders of East Street Market. A brilliant range of exciting games from around the world, from India to Wales to War-time London, from older people to children currently playing in Elephant and Castle, with similarities and adaptations evolving along the way. These games will be the inspiration behind the upcoming PLAY SWAP drop in sessions, due to start next Thursday from 2.30 - 5.30pm.

Exciting times ahead!

Another rainy walk on the Aylesbury, and the discovery of half a rope swing

Another rainy walk, this time with Ali and Elizabeth on Ali's Wednesday guided walk around the Heygate and Aylesbury. Hidden courtyards, old terraced houses, fields and stunning views were discovered on our journey between the blocks. A huge amount of space to be utilised, so much potential. So many spaces to play with, and in! Half a fraying rope swing, hung in tatters from a gnarled tree branch, the earth flattened beneath it by children's feet gradually being reclaimed by the grass. I wonder what the logistics would be of installing rope swings throughout the estate...
