Discover senses of place in Waterloo

Waterloo will come to life on Sunday 13 August when the Young Vic and The Space Project present the climax of six months of work on their community arts project.

Senses of Place will celebrate the Waterloo area through the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. Participants are invited to "grab a map" from the Young Vic between 12 noon and 6.30pm and go on a "journey of the five senses", visiting the five transformed spaces along The Cut and Lower Marsh. The organisers have secured the use of five venues including a house, a shop, a surgery and a gallery which will be used to present video, photography, performance, sculpture, soundscapes and more.

Other events include Southwark Cyclists' Beating the Bounds ride marking out the boundary of the Waterloo Kite area (meet 2pm at the Young Vic), as well as live music and street performance.

Many restaurants, cafés and shops will be open specially for the event, with Cubana in Lower Marsh offering brunch for £9.95 (children £4.95) with free fresh ground coffee.
