What does Heritage mean to you?
As part of Southwark today, Syrup is working with the Southwark’s heritage service to expand on the Southwark archives and collections to create a picture of what life is like in the borough in the present day and recent past.

We want to capture some of the energy, creativity and community spirit that makes Southwark special to bring together in a celebratory Southwark today exhibition in 2022, and ensure that these stories become part of the archives to create a resource for future generations.

We need your help!

We are looking to connect with you, the people who live, work and play in the borough, and find out what Southwark means to you. We want to hear about your memories: perhaps they might be of moving to Southwark, growing up in the borough, working here, or even how the events of 2020 have affected you.

This is a chance to contribute your stories to the history of your borough and to help build a resource for future generations. Please help us capture Southwark Today by answering a few questions.
