In 1960, at the height of his fame, singer, songwriter, and satirist Tom Lehrer gave it all up. He spent the rest of his career as an obscure maths lecturer. This show investigates the strange disappearance of Tom Lehrer – and includes some of his greatest songs, like Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, and The Elements.

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!
| Saturday 23 March | 10–12 noon |
| Saturday 20 April | 10–12 noon |
| Saturday 18 May | 2.30–4.30pm |
| Thursday 20 June | 7.30–9.30 pm |

A white far-right party leader.
A black Caribbean diplomat.
And a white Oxford-educated Home Office government official.
They all give a speech. On the same day, at different times, in various locations.
They all give a speech about the one million people who migrated from the Caribbean to Britain between 1948-1973 (The Windrush Generation) and the scandal that followed in 2018.
