Radio 4’s Big Hearted poet and local resident Richard Tyrone Jones "Fascinating, sobering, hilarious" (New Scientist) mis-guides you through Deptford’s alleyways, streets and dried up creekbeds in a fascinating tour with some very quirky features. Myth or reality? Amazing tale or barefaced lie? Join him for a cultural tour that will reveal Deptford in a totally new light: it's gonna be so f*cking Goldsmiths! Sat May 3rd AND Sat May 31st. Slightly different both times.
