BANKSIDE SUMMER FESTIVAL
Saturday 2 September
12pm-9pm  at Park Street and Bank End; free
Now in its second year, the Bankside Summer Festival will be
held on Park Street like last year and will include Bank End
near The Anchor Bankside Pub. The festival will include
delicious food and drink from local businesses, music,
dance, art and theatre. Many local businesses and
organisations have agreed to support the event. The Bankside
Summer Festival is being held to celebrate the things which
make Bankside unique - the diverse residents and workers,
the community organisations, the businesses, the cultural
institutions and the rich history and heritage. Due to the
attack on London Bridge and Borough Market this year's
Bankside Summer Festival will have a greater significance in
uniting and strengthening community spirit especially for
those living in the immediate area of the attack (Stoney
Street, Clink Street, Park Street, Redcross Way and Montague
Close).

The silent film star Charlie Chaplin was born and raised in

by John Constable you will explore Chaplin's childhood
haunts around the Elephant and Walworth Road, including the
church where his parents were married, the sites of the
'South London Palace' and other celebrated music halls from
when this area was a hot-bed of working class culture. Along
the way John will introduce other memorable characters like
Mary Seacole, Marie Lloyd and Austin Osman Spare, and
walkers will be treated to John's performance of the
music-hall classic 'Knocked 'Em In The Old Kent Road'.
