Catching up on some paperwork on the train back from Westminster to Streatham. Looking forward to getting out on the doorstep tonight to talk with local residents.
Brixton

Windrush Square is named after the Windrush generation – who settled in Brixton after arriving in the UK as it had the labour exchange which was closest to the accommodation provided to migrants in Clapham – and is home of the Black Cultural Archives.
