People seem to be astonished and surprised and some even paranoid as to what I am doing. While you can read about my predominant reason for doing a project on Streatham High Road in my first blog entry, I also realized at one point that by doing the project on Streatham High Road (SHR) Streatham began to feel much more like my community- a place where I recognise people, say “hello”, smile and have a brief chat with one or the other person. To me this comes as a bit of a surprise in a big city such as London but it shows that in fact the majority of people around us are very approachable and that in a way we are all the same. Hence, coming out of ones shell and engaging with our surroundings no matter where we live is very much worthwhile - it makes our neighbourhood a friendlier and more positive place to be.
Have a look below at some of the wonderful people I have met on SHR!
