This episode of Doing Lambeth Walks is a whistle stop tour round Kennington as the Lambeth Tour Guides discuss diverse heroes of the locality. From the mysteriously monikered Black Prince to activist William Cuffay and educator John Sparkes, discover how their legacies shaped history. Meet trailblazers like Jemina Durning Smith, who championed education and libraries, learn about war time hero George Jarratt, VC and listen to the story of an incredible group of cricketers who found themselves in Lambeth (and a long long way from home!) way back in 1868. Fancy Doing Lambeth Walks? Join the Lambeth Tour Guides Association for this ongoing podcast about the people, places, and history of Lambeth. Each episode, we chat with expert Lambeth tour guides and special guests to explore topics ranging from espionage and intrigue to entertainment, culture, and everything in between. Whether you’re a local, a visitor, or just curious about Lambeth, we’ll uncover the stories that make our part of London so unique.
