We had a lovely time at the Tufnell Park Big Lunch!
On Sunday 5th June neighbours in Tufnell Park came along to meet each other at the Big Lunch on Anson Road. Everyone
brought a dish or something for the BBQ, and despite the rain had a really nice time.
The Big Lunch is a nationwide event started by the Eden Project in 2009. The simple aim is to bring the community together over some food so that we build relationships with people we share our streets with, but may never normally meet. Two neighbours who had lived in Anson Road for over 20 years couldn’t believe they had never bumped into each other in all that time and then found they had a lot in common.
It was great that our MP Jeremy Corbyn could join us as well as Catherine West the Leader of Islington Council. Everyone left vowing to make the Big Lunch next year even bigger, and we’re hoping for some sun too! If you are interested in helping out with next year’s event, please email Jessica Asato at jessica@jessicaasato.co.uk
Thanks to everyone who contributed, but particularly Keith, Xenia, Ash, Seph and Aubrey.
