Catford Gyratory Project

What does central Catford mean to you? The same space can mean a very different thing to different people and the changes to the road and regeneration of the Catford Gyratory area has provoked a series of conversations about the past, to inform the future.

Led by St Laurence Church, the Catford Gyratory Project was funded by the Heritage Lottery, to explore the meanings of the spaces we all love, and some of the quirkly, rich and sad histories of Catford. Our approach was informed by Chimamanda Ngozie Adiche's famous TED talk on the danger of a single story.

Ed Sheeran in Catford?! That’s right!

For a week in April Ed Sheeran filmed his new single Bad Habits through the streets of Catford. Hollywood producers flew in and based themselves at The Broadway Theatre, often working into the early hours.#Lewisham #catford #film #music pic.twitter.com/dC91NRWepZ

We would love it if people would continue to add their own favourite Catford Gyratory spots to the History Pin that we have produced, linked to the Walk.
