Prince Charles visit SW9
I took some photos of the initial preparation and a few of Prince Charles who was surrounded by press and other assortment of business people.
here’s a slideshow – they are available for digital download – please contact me if you have any questions or get stuck.
The visit was in connection with Brick Box, a Community Interest Company for South London.
‘We are a ‘ground up’ arts organisation and community movement made up of artists, dreamers, hopers and no hopers’
They are using the ex Angel Public House, 354 Coldharbour Lane, as a community space which is how Open Doors came to show this exhibition.
