All Welcome
See Waterlow Park like you’ve never seen it before through the expert eyes of local historian Pam Cooper, who wrote the definitive history book on the Park.
In 1889 Waterlow Park was given as a ‘garden for the gardenless’ but it was a long journey from the Tudor nobles who claimed the area for country residences until the Victorian Sir Sydney Waterlow brought it together in a grand act of philanthropy.
Meet in the central internal Courtyard at Lauderdale House.

The Tina May Quintet
Tina May (voice), Karen Sharp (saxes), Robin Aspland (piano), Arnie Somogyi (d. bass) & Winston Clifford (drums)
This very swinging quintet is led by the incredibly versatile and talented Tina May who was breathtakingly exciting on the Swanage Festival main stage last year. Tonight her jazz soul is the guiding force and one glance at her line up tells you that this will be a very special evening. It’s the first appearance at Lauderdale by British Jazz Award winner Karen Sharp who first worked with Tina when they were both with the Humphrey Lyttelton Band. Since then they have collaborated and recorded together extensively.
Expect some straight ahead jazz and ….always some forgotten gems alongside standards – but swung and sung in Tina’s inimitable style.
Our programmer Brian Blain compares her appearance at Swanage to Anita O’Day’s sensational contribution to that classic 1960 documentary Jazz On a Summer’s Day and tell us that ‘we could not start our Spring season in any better way’.
‘that great rarity…a singer who enhances a song.’ Dave Gelly, the Observer.
Discover some of Highgate’s twentieth century housing developments in this historic walk through Highgate.
