It is covid-compliant and socially-distanced, with a scavenger hunt until the end of February half term.
It finishes in a zoom prize giving event on February 21 at 4pm.

- Tulse Hill – Arodene Road, Leander Road, Elm Park, Upper Tulse Hill, Cotherstone Road, Roupell Road
A statement from the branch said: “Transport is the UK’s single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.
“South West London Greenpeace Group is calling on the local council and the Government to invest more money into walking, cycling and green public transport, rather than building new roads.
“Certain areas in South West London have been highlighted as having the worst air quality and highest levels of pollution within the city.
“This is due to standing traffic in particular spots and the number of vehicles using certain streets as through-routes.
“During February half-term, we are hosting socially-distanced activities to celebrate our Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods.”
Everyone at the South London Press thanks you for your continued support.
Former Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has encouraged everyone in the country who can afford to do so to buy a newspaper, and told the Downing Street press briefing:
“A FREE COUNTRY NEEDS A FREE PRESS, AND THE NEWSPAPERS OF OUR COUNTRY ARE UNDER SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL PRESSURE”
