This also applies to our local Peckham Rye park and Common where meeting people is a great joy. These places were also important in my taking up poetry writing late in life. This was achieved with the help of the wonderful London poet Laurie Bolger. Laurie helps to run “Bang said the Gun” at the Roebuck pub in the Borough S.E.1. This is where I won an award for the poem about my local pub. I have since written several poems and hope to have a book published with mine and other local poets’ work included. Hugo: I have lived in the Peckham area for twenty years, and south east London for nearly forty years. The locale of Newlands, up around the Ivy House pub and Ivydale School, has become arguably the strongest community I have ever been part of. The pub especially has been a focus, having been drawn in by its physical loveliness and its history, particularly its musical heritage. This led me to be part of the 'Saving the Pub' effort of 2012 and being involved in various ways since then! My creative outlets have included writing and acting on the London Fringe Theatre scene, creating immersive art installations for the Nunhead Art Trail and writing about London history - currently working on a social history story of the Peckham Rye area, with The Ivy House at its heart. https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2026-02-24 https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/testimonials daily 0.75 2021-11-19 https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/delta-tavern daily 0.75 2022-01-24 https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/bpw-connection-centre daily 0.75 2022-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607d7c817b800b591627b343/c1384f4d-ee3f-448c-8b3a-99d3c68c5565/IMG_4776.PNG BPW CONNECTION CENTRE https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/all-saints-church daily 0.75 2022-01-24 https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/peckham-palms daily 0.75 2022-01-24 https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/sage-flowers daily 0.75 2022-01-24 https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/map daily 0.75 2021-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607d7c817b800b591627b343/9f35a9d7-9431-403b-b8c0-76aaa4cb9ea5/Untitled.jpg MAP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607d7c817b800b591627b343/b91fd0a4-ee98-4f3d-a93f-7853d2fb51e1/Untitled+2.jpg MAP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607d7c817b800b591627b343/b08a4e99-89bf-4fd7-8c51-ac0fdd2c9d63/Untitled+4.jpg MAP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607d7c817b800b591627b343/de41aac9-6d62-48ed-b4d8-ab7b1fd32f2f/Untitled+3.jpg MAP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607d7c817b800b591627b343/23acf2e9-e269-469b-8f47-bb67c73c297b/Untitled+5.jpg MAP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607d7c817b800b591627b343/b41eee7d-a1e1-478b-b9bd-ec9975ea33f7/Untitled+6.jpg MAP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607d7c817b800b591627b343/17029731-a57a-4c87-b5ea-979db1b4c95d/Untitled+8.jpg MAP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607d7c817b800b591627b343/dc8bbed6-c285-4276-883d-b34cf04c2d4f/Untitled+7.jpg MAP https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/brixton daily 0.75 2022-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607d7c817b800b591627b343/8427a75d-4e34-4b43-b98d-719cc2128d82/WEBSITE+Michael+by+Nina+Photography-2.png KNOCK DOWN: BRIXTON - Michael Balogun Brixton House Michael Balogun is an award-winning actor born and raised in the borough of Lambeth, South London.

This also applies to our local Peckham Rye park and Common where meeting people is a great joy. These places were also important in my taking up poetry writing late in life. This was achieved with the help of the wonderful London poet Laurie Bolger. Laurie helps to run “Bang said the Gun” at the Roebuck pub in the Borough S.E.1. This is where I won an award for the poem about my local pub. I have since written several poems and hope to have a book published with mine and other local poets’ work included. Hugo: I have lived in the Peckham area for twenty years, and south east London for nearly forty years. The locale of Newlands, up around the Ivy House pub and Ivydale School, has become arguably the strongest community I have ever been part of. The pub especially has been a focus, having been drawn in by its physical loveliness and its history, particularly its musical heritage. This led me to be part of the 'Saving the Pub' effort of 2012 and being involved in various ways since then! My creative outlets have included writing and acting on the London Fringe Theatre scene, creating immersive art installations for the Nunhead Art Trail and writing about London history - currently working on a social history story of the Peckham Rye area, with The Ivy House at its heart. https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/map-sections daily 0.75 2021-11-23 https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/map-sections/project-six-4szka monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847421455-8JW2CPL3ZB56F2Z8ACLN/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Map sections - Project Six https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847422112-G7ETRT5C07KF9PHFAV96/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Map sections - Project Six https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847420762-AGPM8HHB51L8F01AAZN7/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Map sections - Project Six https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847420322-U8QPDYBOD6HXYRSL8QW0/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Map sections - Project Six https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/map-sections/project-five-nprjj monthly 0.5 2020-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847419260-TLMPOGZEKRIR09EDXNAA/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Map sections - Project Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847419968-YLRD4TYV9QU8K9LW04SP/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Map sections - Project Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847418911-D6BSPWP8P3O9YAF5R3SO/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Map sections - Project Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847418431-66X2HHF6ZNWKOC9VHLZI/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Map sections - Project Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847417789-TGDSX064I3PZELTJI8Q1/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Map sections - Project Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847417384-6R65UAAJW6EW4KUCUT6U/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Map sections - Project Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847416982-R2067X6OPKY3MG304FSJ/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Map sections - Project Five https://www.droppedteatheatre.co.uk/map-sections/project-four-4yw76 monthly 0.5 2021-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847905386-9EM9GLHE12726EXM68S4/image-asset.jpeg Map sections - Project Four - Make it stand out.
