Midnight Run

A Spread the Word commission, conceived and led by Inua Ellams*.

Saturday 24 July
6pm-6am
£5

“The Midnight Run was conceived one autumn evening ’05. What started as a “walk to the next bus stop” whim, became some neo urban nomadic journey freestyled from the wind … Six hours later my friend and I had covered the West End, Clapham, Vauxhall, Victoria, Elephant and Castle, all on foot. And we weren’t tired.”

The Midnight Run is a journey of discovery through our city at night. Starting at 6pm the event goes on until 6am the next day and you can join or leave it any stage. Starting in Southwark, Hidden Histories will uncover the people, places and stories of London.

Come with an open mind and open notebook and be prepared to make new friends, spark new creative ideas and find new perspectives on the city around you. Everything may look very different by daybreak…
Joining details: 6pm prompt at Vauxhall Bus Station at the 36 Bus Stop towards Victoria.

Please note that this event will be photographed and filmed.
