Hello, my name is Rah, and I’ll be leading you on a journey through the South London urban areas of Brixton and Stockwell.
We will be discovering some of the communities, and how they have shaped and contributed to the local areas. The tour is focused primarily on commuting and the communities and the correlation between the two, and how migrants from different cultures have travelled and contributed to the local areas. We will also be exploring local transport history, resident celebrities and discovering some hidden gems along the way that you might have missed.
This tour was developed in collaboration with Sama Sama International who delivered the training.

My name is Rah, I am originally from the Stockwell area and have lived in and outside London for many years until returning a few years ago to care for my ailing parents until their passing in 2023.
I have experienced homelessness many times, from since the age of 16 when the staff at the children’s care home where I lived said that I had to leave and didn’t give me any advice on applying for housing, right up until a few years ago when I was sanctioned for failing to a hit a target of job applications per week which led to my eviction.
I have since been housed in my current flat but have suffered mental and physical health problems, work and relationship instability due to past homelessness, precarious housing and constant moving. I have hearing loss and wear a hearing aid on my right ear and have a long-term colorectal ulcer condition which requires intermittent access to toilets and may affect timekeeping and scheduling, causing general interruptions to my life. I am learning to lipread to make it easier to follow conversations and understand people in noisy environments and general settings.
