# Event Details - **Event Name**: 'The Wonder of Wandsworth' Guided Walk - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Has any UK town centre changed so much as Wandsworth? An extraordinary history is revealed on Geoff's informative and entertaining walk!About this EventWhere the Wandle meets the Thames, Wandsworth 'London Borough of Culture' is a place where gargantuan tower blocks jostle uneasily alongside rusting remains of the area's remarkable industrial legacy around one of Britain's most notorious one-way systams. It all makes for a fascinating ramble! Mantle-makers, costermongers and those who trooped into the gasworks everyday may have gone but their legacy lives on and the streets that shaped Sadiq Khan, Frank Bruno and Nigella Lawson resonate with history. This is the community that over 300 years ago gave sanctuary to the Huguenots and later provided a home for so many migrants and refugees. Nomadic people made baskets from the osiers and grazed their horses on riverside pastures. This was the starting point for the world's first iron railway, the home of one of Britain's longest-established brewing sites, the bread-basket of London, an industrial furnace that forged the guns and cannonballs at Trafalgar and Waterloo and equipped Spitfires for the Battle of Britain. Its musical history includes the pub where the fledgling Sex Pistols prepared to unleash punk rock and the film studio where 'Video Killed the Radio Star' kicked off the era of MTV... From 35 storey 'Sid Vicious Tower' to 'Skyscraper Canyon' this place is Manhattenising on a daily basis and there's no better way to keep up with the changes than by joining me to discover 'The Wonder of Wandsworth'!A resident for over 30 years, Geoff Simmons runs a community history project in south west London called Summerstown182 alongside his job as a graphic designer. This involves Guided Walks and Talks, working with schools and putting up plaques. Over the last ten years a trail of these have emerged along the Wandle Valley, shining a light on some of the lesser-known history in this area. They range from the youngest soldier to serve this country in the First World War to a ground-breaking plaque acknowledging Romany Gypsy and Traveller heritage in Wandsworth. 'Planet Tooting' is an ongoing initiative championing the outstanding migrant contribution to our neighbourhood which resulted in a blue plaque on Tooting Market.
