WALWORTH'S FORGOTTEN ZOO - TALK BY CUMING MUSEUM CURATOR
Tuesday 19 April
6.30pm-7.30pm  at John Harvard Library, 211 Borough High
Street; free
A talk on South London's rival to Regent's Park Zoo, by the
Cuming Museum curator Judy Aitken. Hear about menagerie
owner Edward Cross's ambition to cash in on the craze for
zoos and pleasure gardens in late Georgian and Victorian
London. The Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens' catalogue of
disasters and successes enlivened the once sleepy hamlet of
Walworth for over forty years before both Gardens and
Walworth succumbed to urbanisation. The story reveals this
surprising part of Southwark's lost past. Many fantastic
posters survive but sadly little else. However there may
just be a skeleton or two...

St George is the patron saint of both England and Catalonia.
Once again Borough Market is hosting a feast that will bring

storytelling. While the Borough Market traders will be
selling both Catalan and English food, different
performances will be taking place at the stage located at
the core of the market. Visitors will get a taste of English
folk and sardanes dances - a circle dance typical of
Catalonia - and they will enjoy the Catalan human towers by
Castellers of London. For the little ones, Escola Catalana
("Catalan School") will offer an arts and crafts workshop as
well as some storytelling of the legend of St George and the
dragon. In addition, the romantic Catalan custom of
exchanging roses and books with loved ones will be one of
the attractions of the Catalan stands at Borough Market.
