HERE by Daniel Lehan

Throughout Camberwell, SE5
Over the years many artists and writers have been drawn to Camberwell, including Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Andy Warhol, The Brontes, Rembrandt and Virginia Woolf (to name but a few) and each have left their indelible mark on this particular area of South London.
Their visits, now finally recognised, are commemorated with a series of HERE plaques – especially commissioned for this year’s Festival – located in the windows of various shops and businesses in Camberwell.
Local cultural historian Mobheg Rich will entertain, and enthral, those who join the HERE IT WAS walk, during which Mobheg will share the fruits of his extensive research, relating hitherto unknown accounts of the visits of celebrated artists and writers to Camberwell.
Join WALK HERE on Camberwell Green at 3pm on Sunday 15 June.
