    Bonnington Square (Part 1)

    Bonnington Square is a little urban oasis, tucked away in Vauxhall. This unique London neighbourhood was completely transformed by a community of squatters who settled there in the 1980s. At one point, there was over 300 people squatting in the area. They created a community café, a food cooperative, a milk bar and even a nightclub. In the first part of this Bonnington Square episode, we talk to Tod, James and Alistair, three squatters who were part of this community. Never been to Bonnington Square? Here is a selection of photos.

    The Oval Gasholder

    The Oval Gasholder is one of the most iconic remnants of the industrial revolution in South London. Built in 1877, it has witnessed the development of Kennington and has provided a magnificent backdrop to thousands of cricket matches played at the Oval. In this first episode of Citybytes, we take a brief look at the history of the Gasholder and find out how a local resident saved it from planned demolition. Never seen the famous Gasholder? Here is a selection of pictures.
