Brixton and Stockwell with Rah

Brixton to Stockwell on the argument that a place is made by how people get in and out of it.

Walking

Rah's walk takes commuting as its subject, which sounds dry and is not: the transport came first, the communities followed the transport, and south London is the shape it is because of which lines were built where and who could afford to travel on them. He follows that through the migrations that made Brixton and Stockwell, the local transport history, and a number of residents more famous than their streets.

Unseen Tours' guides have all experienced homelessness and are paid for the walk. Rah greets guests with a wave rather than a handshake, which he asks people to respect. Some of the content means the walk is not for children under twelve.
