What locals say about New Beckenham
“It is a calm, prestigious place to work and live.”
Daniel
“After coming to terms with the fact that I could only afford a parking space in Zone 1, I soon realised that Beckenham offered the best of both worlds. Easy access to Victoria, London Bridge, Dulwich, Croydon & Gatwick amongst others, along with the open spaces and decent house sizes of the suburbs.”
Connie
“Beckenham is far enough out of London to have a lovely, village (or small town!) community feel. There are great green spaces - Kelsey Park, Croydon Recreation Ground, Beckenham Place Park and more - which make this a family-friendly place to live. ”
Bethany

Books in the Park presents Paul Sinha, One Sinha Lifetime
Paul Sinha is an award-winning comedian, a quizzing mastermind and a happily-married husband. But for much of his life none of these seemed remotely imaginable. In this very special event, he speaks to Karen McLeod and shares his unforgettable journey. As a boy, Paul struggled to find his place in a world where he didn't quite fit. Who was he? An over-achieving schoolkid with the world's knowledge at his fingertips? A traditional Bengali son, destined for a career in medicine that he never once craved? A young gay man yearning to breathe freely? Or was he yet another flawed human being on a self-destruct mission? Amid life's mayhem, it was frequently Paul's love of facts in which he found solace, whether funding his lifestyle through quiz machines or simply trying to show off to his mates. Stumbling serendipitously into both a career in stand-up and a clandestine network of competitive quizzers introduced him to a new sense of purpose, a new identity, and, eventually, new love...A hilarious and moving coming-of-age memoir of one man's search for fulfilment, One Sinha Lifetime is an unconventional odyssey through love, family, and the joy of general knowledge. Adult only event.Read more

Bernstein, Chilcott, Copland, Tippett Concert
For our summer concert we are delighted to bring you a jazz- and blues-influenced programme of English and American music, mostly dating from the middle of the last century. Our principal work is the Candide Choral Suite, highlighting the satirical and dramatic themes from Bernsteins 1956 operetta. The suite opens in optimistic vein, with The Best of All Possible Worlds and culminating in the thrilling anthem, Make Your Garden Grow. The only contemporary piece of the evening, Bob Chilcotts highly original A Little Jazz Mass successfully blends the Latin mass with the jazz and blues idiom, giving a relaxed and lyrical feel that builds to a powerful climax. These works are accompanied by the ever-popular Tippett Five Spirituals, powerful and moving in their simplicity, and a selection of Coplands Old American Songs. Simple Gifts will surely be the best known, with other treasures to be discovered.Read more
