The latest edition of the Greater London Bus Map is now available. Nostalgic for many, this edition shows the complete list of London bus routes, including the night bus network in map form, and, on the reverse, in route order. It includes all the most recent changes in Carshalton, Sutton and surrounding areas. It is just £2, and is available for so long as our limited stocks last.

Also new to our shelves is this book by Jean Knight charting the history of what is now ​St. Philomena's School. 267pp

A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event

 
A Talk from Alun Thomas, London Canal Museum
 
Until the early 1960s the River Thames was thronged with vessels of all shapes and sizes bringing goods to London. Of these, lighters were the most numerous although the most insignificant in appearance. They played a vital role in moving cargos from ship to shore and from dock to upriver wharf. These unique vessels had no means of propulsion beyond the ingress and egress of the tide.
 
Alun will explain how the trade developed and shed light on the life of the lightermen whose skill controlled these barges.

​
Seats £7 (£6 Members) - refreshments free
