Join London Calling Blog for a tour of the world class Street Art of SE20, culminating at the unique Rooftop Gallery in the Blenheim Centre with views across Penge and Crystal Palace.
Celebrating cultural commons, the local street art offers a unique narrative – one that speaks of and to the people who call Penge home.
London Calling Blog are a non-profit group who share their passion for Street Art by organising over 550 free artworks around the area.
Since spring 2022 they have partnered with Hadley Property Group and Clarion Housing, the owners and developers of the Blenheim Centre in Penge High Street, transforming the top 3 floors of the multi-story car park into the first of its kind - The Rooftop Gallery.
With 500 works from local and international artists, the gallery continues to evolve, helping to build on the existing sense of community and create something truly remarkable within an otherwise unused space.
