Octavia Hill in Southwark

Octavia Hill in Southwark

Octavia Hill (1838-1912) was a remarkable Victorian woman who improved the lives of thousands of families living in the squalid slums of London. She worked all over the capital but her own pet housing and community project was in Southwark, where she attempted to create a model urban community. On this walk you will see houses and open spaces created by Octavia Hill over 100 years ago and how this historic part of London has been regenerated in recent times.
