First up a reminder that, for free, you can meet Helen Fisher, Programme Director of the Nine Elms Vauxhall Partnership at the Vauxhall Society AGM on Thursday 25th October. You may wish to ask how this area is to become as cycling friendly as Amsterdam, when the gyratory is going, and whether the huge costs of building the planned Northern Line Extension will fall disproportionately on Lambeth and impact on the ability to afford things like cycling propersuperhighways and social housing.
But the following day, if you've got £299 + VAT to splash out, you can hear and network with an amazing range of those driving forward this huge regeneration scheme at a New London Architecture event. I'm unlikely to be there at that price but if you're there and get a chance, I'd love to find out how many of these big-wigs arrived at Market Towers by bicycle, how many by car/taxi and how many by public transport.
