About

✨🏗️ PROTESTIVAL – THAMESMEAD TAKEOVER! 🏗️✨

📅 Friday 13th & Saturday 14th September
📍 Thamesmead – meet at the occupation
Come and experience Thamesmead like you’ve never seen it before.
Residents are rising up against Peabody’s demolitions and cultural gentrification – and you’re invited to join us!
🔥 Explore the iconic brutalist estate before it’s destroyed.
🔥 Visit the community-led occupation on the Lesnes estate, reclaimed by residents.
🔥 Music, fire-dancing, art, food, and resistance – a protest that’s also a festival.
This is more than an event – it’s a stand for homes, culture, and community.
👉 Bring your friends, your energy, and your solidarity.
