Getting started with London Neighbourhoods The City of London has collected and organized a wealth of information about London's 42 neighbourhoods. In addition, groups such as Churches Together London and CCNL are contributing helpful resources and materials. You can use this page as a jumping-off point, to help you get to information about your particular neighbourhood, and more. |
Two videos were played at our March 26th meeting, to help bring perspective, and to show that other church communities are experiencing a shared desire to help in their neighbourhoods.

At our meetings there was a resource table with information and book suggestions.
1) These articles can be helpful for exploring the ideas of community development and working together.
2) Here are some helpful books, including local links to the Navigators Resources and Creation Bookstore.
