in SE1This Halloween ghastly ghosts will be hidden in the area around the London Eye ready for visitors to hunt them down.

Children become London’s top ghost hunter by discovering how many ghosts are hiding at the London Eye. With a completed game card, ghost hunters will be rewarded with Halloween treats including detective kits, invisible ink pens and scary DVDs and games. Adults also have the chance to win a trip for two on the Orient Express murder mystery train between London and Brighton.

For a small supplement on the usual admission price visitors can take a ‘Spooky Flight’ with a commentary on London’s spooky stories and legends whilst you take in the view. Children are invited to dress up and will receive a Halloween goody bag full

of scary surprises. Local writer John Constable will once again bet

staging his popular annual Halloween event inspired by the story of Cross Bones graveyard and the spirit of a ‘Winchester Goose’. This year’s event is at the Hop Cellars in Southwark Street. See page 3.

The Old Operating Theatre in St Thomas’ Street will be offering a special Halloween trail around its spooky herb garret. The museum also has a programme of themed talks and activities for young and old alike. See pages 4 and 5.

Britain’s only annual horror theatre festival returns to the Union Theatre this month. The lineup includes Noel Coward’s The Better Half written for London’s Grand Guignol in 1922 and never seen or published until now, as well as works by contemporary writers including Mark Ravenhill. See page 6 for listings information.

Black History MonthMore than a dozen exhibitions, talks and walks are being held locally during October as part of Black History Month.

“I’d encourage people from all backgrounds to get involved and take time to learn something new about their own or another culture in their community,” says Cllr Columba Blango, Southwark’s executive member for equalities and citizenship. “Black History Month is a great opportunity to do this.”

Several events in the the Mayor of London’s Black History Season are being held locally. Ken Livingstone says: “The events I am supporting are broad and varied in theme, so will both educate, inspire and entertain Londoners.

“The modern legacies of one of the greatest crimes against humanity, the Transatlantic Slave Trade, will be explored during a series of lectures and

contemporary City Hall art exhibitions.” For details of these exhibitions turn to page 6.

Black 100+, a photographic exhibition featuring portraits of 50 contemporary black achievers including comedian Lenny Henry, academic Baroness Young, actor and playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah and Eastenders star Rudolph Walker, will open at London College of Communication on Monday 15 October. See listings on page 7 for details.

On Thursday 18 October Southwark writer John Constable will lead a free walk celebrating black achievement and presence in the borough. Details on page 5.

Local historian Stephen Bourne will give a presentation about how he put together Speak of Me As I Am, a Black history book about Southwark featuring, among others, Ira Aldridge, Mary Seacole, Dr. Harold Moody, Paul Robeson and Sam King. He will also discuss his recently completed documentary Aunt Esther’s Story in which he uses family photographs and archive footage to tell the story of his aunt, a Black Londoner born before the First World War. The event is on Tuesday 23 October at the LCC. See page 4 for details.

In BriefWaterloo paintingRailway artist Terence Cuneo’s famous 1967 painting of the bustling concourse of Waterloo station at the end of the steam era goes on show at the National Railway Museum in York this month. It is the first time that the gigantic 6 by 9-metre canvas has been on public display since the artist’s death more than a decade ago. A bronze sculpture of the artist was unveiled at Waterloo by the Princess Royal in 2004. The York exhibition continues until 30 April 2008.

Roots & Shoots Apple DayCatch the first juice of this year’s apple harvest and get right to the core of what makes a good apple at Roots and Shoots Apple Day and Producers’ Market on Sunday 14 October (11am-4pm). The Lions part theatre company will be making corn dollies and preparing the giant Corn Queene for their own October Plenty event on Bankside on 28 October (see page 3). Roots & Shoots is in Fitzalan Street SE11. Admission £1 (conc 50p). See www.rootsandshoots.org.uk

Toast OfficeA sandwich bar called Toast Office has opened under the Blackfriars Road railway bridge near the junction with Scoresby Street. Not to be confused with Post in Bermondsey Street which also sports a Toast Office sign.

RIBA Stirling PrizeThe winner of Britain’s top architecture prize will be announced live on Channel 4 on Saturday 6 October from 8pm. The rebuilt Young Vic theatre on The Cut – designed by Haworth Tompkins – is on the shortlist.

London Film FestivalMany of the screenings are at BFI Southbank. See www.lff.org.uk for the full programme.

St George FestivalPlanning is under way for the 2008 St George in Southwark Festival which will be a multicultural celebration exploring St George and his many – often surprising – links to the diverse communities of Southwark. If your community group would like to get involved in the April 2008 event visit www.stgeorgefestival.org.uk or email [email protected]

BOOK REVIEW

Festival of Britain 1951Paul RennieAntique Collectors’ Club £14.95Buy at www.inSE1.co.uk/books

As the Queen visits the refurbished Royal Festival Hall this month this is a timely look at the history of the South Bank arts complex.

Paul Rennie’s interest in the 1951 Festival of Britain began when his father – as part of his National Service – was involved in the construction of a Bailey bridge across the Thames next to Hungerford Bridge to bring visitors to the South Bank for the Festival.

An ideal Christmas gift for anyone with an an interest in design, this beautiful book features many of the souvenirs and other items produced for the Festival – from scarves to napkins and teapots. The Skylon Biro stand is a particular highlight.

Even those too young to remember the Festival will enjoy the ephemera so elegantly presented in this volume.

BOOK REVIEW

Thames: Sacred RiverPeter AckroydChatto & Windus £25Buy at www.inSE1.co.uk/books

Peter Ackroyd walked from the source of the River Thames in Gloucestershire to London and continued by boat to the wide estuary.

His book has a clever cover featuring London Bridge which is appropriate as his work is a view of the river from a London perspective.

He tells us that high tide at London Bridge is between 15 and 22 feet although the Romans knew only a 3 foot rise. He compares the oldest bridge at Radcot with the newest at Bankside and claims that Southwark had “a reputation for noisomeness and excess” whilst in the 17th-century Thomas Dekker described Borough High Street as “a continued alehouse with not a shop to be seen”.

Mentioned in passing are Chaucer, Shakespeare and Shelley. We are told that William Blake could see the Thames from his house in Hercules Road. The grim River of Death chapter records the Marchioness disaster.

Unfortunately, the thematic chapters result in some repetition.
