Bring your bike to Lambeth Council's team of professional

brakes, gears and its general roadworthiness. If your bike
has an issue that cannot be rectified in 15 minutes they
will advise you on what is wrong so you can take it to a
bike shop well-informed. The police will be at the events
marking bikes and adding details to BikeRegister.com. This
service will deter theft and in the event your bike is
stolen, will ensure that your details are on a nationwide
database so it is much more likely to be returned to you if
recovered. HGV awareness: friendly drivers and professional
cycle instructors will show you how to effectively road
share with big vehicles. You will have the opportunity to
come and sit in the cab of an HGV and see blind spots and

8pm at The Old King's Head, Kings Head Yard, 45-49 Borough
High Street; �3 (conc �1.50); email
[email protected] to reserve a seat
A South East London Folklore Society event. London was once
known as the "City of the Gallows" for the frequency of its
public executions. Since the 10th Century more than 200,000
people are believed to have been beheaded, burned at the
stake or hanged, for crimes ranging from counterfeiting to
witchcraft. Public executions were once keenly anticipated
events, attended by passionate and partisan crowds often
numbering tens of thousands and London's execution sites,
including Tower Hill, Tyburn, Smithfield and Charing Cross
became popular destinations for visitors. Public executions
were finally outlawed in Britain in 1867. Historian,
folklorist and gravestone expert Robert Stephenson will
recount some of the more grisly episodes from this once
popular spectator sport.
