This year’s Local History Fair will be held in St. John’s Waterloo church, just a couple of minutes’ walk from Waterloo Station. It will be a great opportunity to visit and learn about this historic, Grade II* listed church, which will have just re-opened following a major restoration project. You can meet many members of the Lambeth Local History Forum to learn about their work and how you might join in. There will be local history publications on sale and refreshments available.
