Liz Fuller, the Buildings at Risk Officer at SAVE Britain’s Heritage will talk about SAVE’s work, including its campaign to prevent the demolition of the M&S Oxford Street store and some other recent campaigns, with a focus on London. She will also cover her work as Buildings at Risk officer.
Liz Fuller has a background in law, having been a partner in a city firm specialising in capital markets and has a masters in Historic Building Conservation. At SAVE she has responsibility for maintaining a national register of buildings at risk.
SAVE is a charity which campaigns to save historic buildings threatened by demolition or development all over the country and works with architects, surveyors and others to propose alternative schemes. Where necessary, and with expert advice, it takes legal action to prevent major and needless losses.

Our Guerrilla Gardening group has been busy with planning for 2024 since our evening workshop in November. Work has included a walk-about through the N6 area to survey 16 potential sites for our activities and developing a map with notes, so that we can assign actions (even if just monitoring) to each site.
We are now looking for people that can join us to grow this initiative. If you can help out at a gardening event (site clearing, pruning, planting), or might be interested in becoming a ‘champion’ for a particular site near you that needs care, or you simply want to know more, please do get in touch via the contact form on the website or by direct email to: infrastructure@highgatesociety.com. A member of the team will be in touch. You can also sign up to our occasional Guerrilla Gardening newsletter.
Meanwhile, the dates for gardening events have been fixed – see below – so do ‘save the date’ in your diary, if you are interested. We will provide further information as to the event activity and location, each month. Please note, some are evening events and they are not only Saturdays!

The event will be a presentation and discussion of the architectural and landscaping projects at Highgate Cemetery. This will be led by Hopkins Architects’s, Simon Fraser and Andrew Ardill. Their discussion will touch on how the designs for these projects have responded to the special character of the Cemetery and what is an appropriately modern yet contextually sensitive response. They will be supported by the landscaping team who will discuss their proposals for dealing with the many years of neglect to create a landscape to meet the demands of the 21st Century.

What is a Sound Bath? A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants relax while being surrounded by soothing sound waves from instruments like crystal singing bowls, Koshi chimes, and gongs. These gentle vibrations help promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support emotional and physical well-being.
What to Expect? During this 60-minute session, you’ll be immersed in sound frequencies that create a peaceful, restorative environment. A crystal grid will be set up, and participants will get to take home a crystal charged with the energy of the session. Water infused with the vibrations of the sound will also be provided to enhance the experience.
What to Bring?
- Yoga mat
- Pillow and blanket
- Comfortable clothing
- Eye masks will be provided
Important Information
- Minimum age to attend: 14 years
- Please consult your doctor if you have any medical conditions before booking.
- Late arrivals cannot be accommodated to ensure a disruption-free experience.
- No refunds available, as proceeds will go to support The Highgate Society.
