Ashburton Park: A South Asian History Wandering

Join us for a wandering tour through Ashburton Park, with Saira Niazi of Living London to celebrate South Asian Heritage Month 2026. We will explore how this corner of South London connects to wider histories of empire, migration, trade, and everyday life.

As we explore the park’s gems, we’ll trace stories of labour, resistance, movement, and settlement, while reflecting on the generations of South Asian communities who have helped shape Croydon’s neighbourhoods.

This is an open, conversational walk rooted in local history and shared reflection. We’ll finish with story sharing and chai - a chance to gather, connect personal memories, and think about how global histories continue to live on in Croydon today.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
