Livesey Museum (London) Under Threat - last chance to visit this half term

[Kazzia]

The Livesey Museum is a fantastic children's museum on the Old Kent Road (get 453, 53, 21 or 172 bus (5 mins) from Elephant and Castle). Its free, suitable for all ages, especially under 12s & even toddlers.

Southwark Council are trying to close it & the crucial vote is on Wednesday (tomorrow).

If they succeed, it will close from April. Show your support by visiting it now. See the website www.liveseymuseum.org.uk for more info and to sign the online petition.

Its current exhibition X Marks the Spot is all about maps and includes a huge model of a treasure island that children can climb on with buried treasure that children can hide and find. There's lots more including a beautiful courtyard garden to play outside.

My DC's have been going there since they were babies & love it. They are heartbroken.

Kazzia, this place looks amazing! How dare they close it. It is quite far away from me but I will try to go and will sign online petition

I live no where near it, but have visited it a few times. I think it is a fabulous place. We are going again next week as I didn't want to miss their new exhibit. I couldn't believe it when I saw on their website that they were closing. It is one of the best museums for kids in London.

Bump

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION - BUMP

Bump bump.

We love you Livesey

Unfortunately, it looks like the folk at Livesey Museum weren't successful at convincing the local council to keep them open. According to their website, the Livesey Children's museum will shut on Sat 01 March.

If you're in the Putney area or visiting London, this is you last chance to go...

esc, just to clarify, the Livesey is on the Old Kent Road, in sort of Peckham/Elephant area, so not really Putney

This is terrible news, will go and sign petition
