Making History with Long Live South Bank
 

You can’t have missed the skaters whizzing down the Embankment on their way to the Southbank Skate Space. Luckily today the space is protected but a few years ago they had to launch a campaign to keep it from being redeveloped.

The second, You Can Make History traces the relationship formed with the Southbank community and the efforts made to restore the Undercroft space.
