Southwark Tree Planting Ceremony

The London Borough of Southwark invites you to attend an interfaith tree-planting at St George the Martyr churchyard on Borough High Street at 3pm on Wednesday, 28 November.

2020 is the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower sailing across the Atlantic. The Mayflower story and Southwark’s role in that historic voyage are deeply intertwined.
