Brixton Society

Categories: Community / Clubs, History

From their website: "We help shape the future of Brixton by working to understand our history and built environment. To do this we hold regular meetings, lead heritage walks, and produce publications about our local area. Our members come from all walks of life and all parts of Brixton, helping to enrich our discussions and campaigns."

For a group whose mission statement includes 'history' they seem remarkable uninterested in their own. Their website does not give their own origin story.
