It’s not only moving our clients safely and efficiently around London that we at Man and Van Camberwell are interested in, oh no. We love to dabble in artistic and creative pursuits such as going to the theatre and art galleries. Camberwell boasts a number of things to quench our dramatic and visual appetites, a few of which seem to relatively well-kept secrets. The Blue Elephant Theatre is a delightful black box fringe theatre, which plays host to a multitude of dance, musical and drama pieces; recent delights include the recently translated “The Title of the Drama about Ante is Written Here” by Croatian playwright Ivor Martinic, and Julius Caesar, by our very own widely celebrated William Shakespeare. For those who prefer to gaze longingly at pretty pictures, Camberwell School of Art holds regular exhibitions and displays of talented students’ work- the Man and Van Camberwell crew have been so inspired by sights as these that we’re thinking of holding our very own painting competition…any ideas for a theme are welcome, and of course we’ll need an adjudicator/judge. If you’d like to arrange/partake in such an event for our team, do let us know! We do need some new artwork in the office….

Burgess Park, situated between Camberwell and Walworth, is due to undergo a huge redevelopment, at the cost of £6 million. A competition for designing the new park was recently launched for budding designers to show off their talent, which attracted over a hundred entries. The winner was announced last month, following public consultation(at the time of writing they were still unknown). An excellent idea we think, as all too rarely locals are consulted on changes being made to their immediate vicinity. The revamp, which will not only see general improvements to the grass and path areas, promised more cultural events for locals to attend, but also incorporates a lakeside amphitheatre and several outdoor gyms. With plans to complete the park’s “facelift” prior to the 2012 Olympics, people from both areas will be able to enjoy their new space very soon. Man and Van Camberwell know that with all these great plans for the area, it’s likely to attract more property owners, particularly those with children who’ll be able to appreciate all the park has to offer at its fullest. If you’re thinking of moving to or from Camberwell, do give us a call, we’ll discuss your requirements and give you a quote. It really is that simple! We look forward to hearing from you.
